I have now listened to 30 min of I Just Want To Feel Real Love by Robbie Williams on a continuous loop --- if you are going to have crappy hold music at least vary it.

Totally agreed with OP. Many times when I call 2747-2200 on a weekday, the lines are so busy that I'm automatically cut off after a 2-minute wait. At least OP gets to wait, though that Robbie Williams tune gets really annoying after a few minutes. The only way to get around being cut-off after 2 minutes is to call the Marco Polo Club and ask them to put me through to the e-service centre.

I hope someone at CX would recognize how urgent it is to improve their on-line booking engine. How difficult is it to let passengers change/cancel bookings online? If SQ and BA can do it, there's no reason why CX can't.

Mr Slosar, imagine the $$$ you can save by automating CX's revenue and award booking system. To start, you can get rid of a few customer service reps; next, you can even bypass the travel agents and their commission...
