I won't bet on it. Contrary to common sense, the CX Management decided to raise price and by A LOT. This was documented on another thread and is widely beleived to contribue to the drop in the premium pax traffic on CX right now. Coupled with serious downgrade on soft products, not many people are willing to go out their way to pay to fly CX F or J these days - I know I definitely won't but just booked NH F yesterday for another transpac. The fact that CX doesn't have a very strong FFP where Marco Polo Club doesn't give generous elite bonus or upgrades, CX really doesn't have many backbones to support during a soft economy like this one. It's no wonder why it is experiencing such tremendous difficulty in filling its front cabins.
