Odd to have extra flights to CGK when the MNL route is probably busier at Christmas time.
While both the CGK and MNL routes (and most others) are very busy around Christmas, QF did get higher loads to CGK than MNL last December.
Admittedly much of the demand for Oz-MNL during December is northbound and southbound during mid to late January, but with the world leading call centre operations in MNL these days and lots of Oz clients there must be many more Australians working in Philippines.
Flights to CGK (compared to inbound flights) were very full last December, while flights from CGK back to Australia were very full last January. That says to me that much of the holiday traffic is originating in Australia.
