Dear Guy Betsy and all,

Thank you for the welcoming message. Hope all is well with you!

So with regards to my flight that day- CX- PVG to HKG- i didn't manage to clear the standby. I was at the airport since 6am and only flew out 1230pm. Turned out ALL the flights on this route that day were either fully booked or overbooked! It's a total madness- witnessed a lot of passengers couldn't even get on their confirmed flights. Everyone- including the station manager- was stressful and frustrated. I managed to have a good chat with her though- to understand a little bit on the situation and so on- a very nice lady in fact!

Alright- will come up with my very first trip report on flyertalk and airliners.net soon! By the way- on a somewhat not so relevant issue on this thread- just received my NWA WorldPerks card today- well- good to have it as a momento at least! ha!

Take it easy people.
