Don't get too excited - the initial service is only thrice-weekly, so availability for A and D classes will probably be very limited.</font>
I think we don't even have to worry about A class availability yet, because it seems like they are operating with the 2-class version of the 330...

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">There is speculation in the press that Cathay really wants to use its new route rights in China to blackmail Dragonair to codeshare on its flights. Apparently CX can make more money that way. This would be bad news (OWE tickets are invalid on codeshare flights), unless of course Dragonair also joined OneWorld...</font>
interesting...because what I read a few months ago was, when CX was applying for their own rights to fly, KA was actually trying to get CX to codeshare with KA instead, because KA already has a well-established network and operations there...but CX insisted to get its own plane fly there...
