I only have 4K shares and it's my biggest holding in my portfolio
Dont be ashamed of having 1000 shares. I am a newbie too, started with 1,000 and have nibbled my way up to 10,000 in the last week or two :D. That is the limit for this little fish at the moment. I have the greatest respect for the amount of shares the big boys hold, but that would scare the **** out of me :scared:
From my understanding after xd date all bids are cleared for new days trading.
I have taken the liberity of reconstructing what I believe you meant to say. you can PM me if it needs changing:
Pricing is getting really aggressive at the moment with East Asian & Middle-Eastern carriers apparently determined to fill their planes.
Though Malaysia Airlines offers a good inflight service I like to avoid Heathrow and usually pick the cheapest deal from KL to Birmingham on my annual pilgrimage to Blighty.
Airline loyality schemes are hardly worth it these days and I only sign up for them so they can auto-populate the forms when I book a flight.
Best Wishes

It's the time of year to plan our annual boys trip to the UK to take in a couple of EPL games and drink and well drink....always look at the cheap flights as affordability is a big issue for most although nearly all are aware of the safety records of airlines..so it just doesn't just come down to price.
I see a few comments on here recently about service and costs. I have just returned from a trip with Star Alliance, Air NZ to Houston, Lufthansa to Frankfurt and then Buenos Aires, AIR from BA-Auckland. Business class fares all of it. On the last leg with AIR from BA to AKL, I wanted to change my dates and fly 4 days earlier than originally booked. AIR told me as they had only 2 seats left, they would need to charge an extra $1,880 on the already hugely expensive tickets. I said "stuff you" I will fly PE instead. Their reply, sorry your fare rules don't allow you "voluntary downgrade" so if you want to travel in a lower class, you need to buy a new ticket.
As I could not change dates, we ended up paying the ridiculous amount to get 1 of the 2 remaining BC seats to sit amongst the Pumas :-) BUT what infuriates me, is that one BC seat was empty. Pathetic service from AIR where loyalty (Gold Elite) makes no difference. Loyalty is a 2 way thing as far as I am concerned and AIR just lost mine
I can't help wondering if Malaysian airlines still fly over the Ukraine and whether they're properly psychologically testing their pilots now as part of their annual medical.
I'd still much rather pay ~ $1900 and fly with AIR and Singapore.
I hear you, been there before:-) AIR do not have the structure in place to deal with this stuff unless you are a member of the elite priority one club or VIP, I have only found it with Emirates, with them I have a relationship manager that caters for a group of higher net worth private business owners. Emirates can also accommodate it on its routes as it has the volume seats capacity to provide the flexibility.
