Please...

Do a search above... and type in the words "Service", "Food", "Seats"... or see the thread on F menus.

Or over at trip reports...

Similarly, you may check out the FAQs here:

Look at Post #2, Topic #1.


These topics have been asked and answered many many times, and its not much point starting a new thread everytime.

Do a search and you can find lots of info already posted, both about CX F in general (maybe the finest F service in the world, certainly in the top 5) and about CX250/251 in particular (a markedly sub-standard F service, perhaps due to teething problems with their new LHR-based crews). You might only get 1 good F flight out of the trip (HKG-NRT which is consistently stellar; the return NRT-HKG is also good but not quite as good for the catering). The new CX lounge (in T2 at NRT) is a bit disappointing, nice enough and better than the old CX lounge, but AA built a better lounge at NRT ... perhaps understandable in view of all the AA flights there; not often that you can say the AA lounge is preferred over the CX lounge).

It should be a great trip, and much nicer than flying BA LHR-NRT. The LGW to LHR transfer is a killer, though, esp. as you have to drag your baggage with you.

An observation on your NRT flights...

I suspect you mean CX520 and CX521 since CX530/531 are Nagoya flights.

And on your return, if you hold an F ticket why are you taking the 2-class CX521 when you could depart an hour later on the 3-class CX505, get in F and still have plenty of time for your connection to LHR?

Welcome hydargos to the Cathay Pacific forum, as you may be new to Flyertalk, you may be unaware of crossposting the same or similar question in various forums.

You have posted the same question HERE, so I would need to close this thread.
