Can't believe that another year has passed and hopefully 2009 will be another great year and you will all continue to contribute to this CX Menu thread!
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
================================ Edited to add: Please post ONLY your menus here. All discussions about meal choices etc, please discuss in the: Discuss your meal options here thread.
