CX785 & CX784 (HKG-DPS): Which aircraft?
Which aircraft is used for the HKG-DPS route? Is it 777? 747? or A330? The CX rep told me last night it would be A330, but the itinerary I got post-call says 777-300...so I am a little confused. We will be flying Business - which Business seat configuration would it be? Any help would be appreciated!

Your real problem will be the 2-3 hour wait at DPS for immigration, assuming this is peak season travel. Good luck. I've sworn off CX785 and now fly through SIN so I can be on the first international arrival of the morn (the SQ flight that arrives around 0930). Sorry to bring bad news, just wanted to advise that your DPS vacation is going to get off to a nasty start.

How recent? We've been arranging fast track for years, but in 2014 the authorities did away with it. Rumour is it may have made its return, but I have yet to confirm. Even in August of 2014 places were accepting reservations but a day or two before arrival they emailed saying they couldn't do it.

Thanks for raising that as a potential issue as I didn't know about it...we'll be there in January which is rainy season, so I assume not high season? I'll check in on the immigration/fast track options closer to the trip and see what is happening then. That really would be a crappy way to start off the second leg of our honeymoon.
