Actually more than the type of aircraft except for the 737 , I ild rather they have more frequency ...that's why I go CX ...so convenient ! The problem with CX is frequency with wide-body. You can't get any better than that. If necessary they could have pass the route to KA if A320/321 would be sufficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lock SH 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 ................... CX flies their ageing plane to KUL, and MH flies their moooooore ageing plane! Perhaps by sending new 380 to HKG will attract more passengers to fly MH. CX planes might be ageing, but their product is pretty consistent across the fleet. Ageing or not, with 4 daily flights to KUL and 10 (or maybe 11) flights to PEN weekly, CX managed to sell its product much better than MH. I wonder how CX's marketing dept managed to do their job better than MH. May be CX employed 'Super-Human' ........ Stan Lee ..... you new assignment to check it out .....

jcameron 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2012 My recent flights to HKG have been packed, if not overbooked, on both MH or CX. Very interesting development to see the dugong doing the morning round to HKG but wondering why they're downgrading the evening flight to 738. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffery Lim 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 These change of decision always makes me go nuts as to whether to redeem my enrich miles to CDG to experience the A380 and end up dissappointed or go for LAX instead knowing that it will be 777-200ER.
