Yue Lee 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Hey folks, I have never taken MH on routes besides those to and from Australia. Come January I will be going to Hong Kong and am deciding between MH B772 or CX A333. I have never flown CX. Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you looking for a package with hotel then CX gives you a better deal. CX has very rates with a lots of hotels in Hong Kong and its packages comes with airport transfer to hotel and vice versa. There is a complimentary half day city tour as well which is very professionally done. Depending on which flight you are taking, the morning flight on CX is a B773.

The package with hotel and city tours etc... would they only be available for bookings through CX's website. I plan to book my ticket from an online travel agent , they somehow seem to give better prices from CX or MH's websites. oops, I meant it's cheaper to book through online travel sites RATHER than from CX or MH's booking engines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy and you can do it when you arrive at Hong Kong cos it is the same travel agent that takes care of your airport transfer to your hotel. Just go to their counter.

Raymund Yeoh 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 I'm not sure about MH but as for CX, you can go to their website n do a dummy booking for the dates you need...from there u can see the different level of pricing based on different booking class....Even in Economy (I assume u r traveling in coach), there are a few booking classes...Also Jan is a high travel period so you may get a bigger aircraft (B747, B777ER, B777-300, A340-300) compared to the A330, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
