Myself (DM) + Fiance (Silver) booked on an I-Class CMB-SFO Fare.
Not sure how overbooked the flights were.
(I spent the birthday doing CMB-BKK-HKG (CX700) then HKG-SFO on CX870, all on my birthday)
CX700 was the 2 class 773.
Landed in BKK to the sweet news of a seat change online. The scanner beeped red at HKG Gate 4 and BOTH of us got hand scribbled First class bps (1A and 1K).
Also got an op-up on the return leg CX873, but just for myself (and yes, the lady travelled in FC, while i slummed it out in J
).
Ohh and got a nice card at the end of the CMB-HKG flight, with short messages from a few of the crew members in their respective native languages.
No cake or Krug bottles to takeaway, but then, those dont really count!
