CX F Menus 2008

[Carfield]

Inspired from CGK's highly organized and successful SQ F/J/Y menu thread, I think we should start one for the CX Forum. I will volunteer to organize the title thread and put all the information in some kinds of formats. Since lots of folks always ask what CX is serving on a particular route, why don't we start something similar to CGK in SQ forum? I know some of you don't care about it, but for those who care about it, hopefully it will be a helpful guide to present and future CX flyers.

If you don't want to type out the menu, feel free to scan it and post a link here, or you can email it to carfield@mac.com, and I will type it out.

Thanks,
Carfield

I am flying Vancouver-Hong Kong. The flights both ways leave around midnight. When and what do they serve each way? I presume the HKG-YVR menu will be similar to the HKG-LAX flight, but what is it going over?

[Carfield]

CX has two midnight flights from Vancouver to Hong Kong and both serve very different food.

CX 835 - 1am flight will serve a proper supper and breakfast prior to arrival with the typical refreshment on demand. Sort of like the HKG to JNB on the above thread. This flight originates from Vancouver, so a proper full supper service will be offered.

CX 889 - 3am flight will serve a refreshment (a fruit appetizer, entree - two to three choices and dessert), snack on demand, and breakfast prior to arrival. Since a full supper was served on the JFK to YVR segment, a lighter meal was served after takeoff.

Hope it helps!

You can also search the CX F Menu 2007 (last year F menu thread)!

To sum things up:

CX835 - Old seats, but more food

CX889 - New seats, but less food
