For the time being, KUL-LHR on MH.

I assume you only care to fly their A380's and thus the "for the time being" ?

Adding KUL-CDG then as well.

For the time being = MH is getting rid of A380 = getting rid of F

KUL-LHR is a longer route, so it's listed just like HKG-JFK is listed over HKG-LAX.

I'd make this J or F routes.
And put AJK in charge of making them in order in the wiki.

Are we breaking this down by route or aircraft or cabin?

Are there specific routes you have in mind that are amazing in J that you'd want to list?

It looks like we are going for A380's and top other aircrafts on the longest routes.

Very tough to do; besides I think there is another thread that probably takes care of that, no?

Should've booked...  cancellation is reasonable with them, no?  Worst case you've bought yourself an option...

Don't feel that SQ is kinda covered by SIN-LAX? Or do you think this is a completely different SQ experience not worth missing?

Created the Wiki with all routes currently mentioned. Feel free, if you want to, to simply note the ranking next to the city pair and Ill eventually just move the rankings accordingly and say that it is sorted from top to bottom.
