Two different CX questions
I decided to book my CX award in F after all, so I have a question about 744 F seats. I have to have a window seat, so I'm debating what the better option is for my wife and myself. Our routing is SAN-LAX-HKG-SIN-HKG-LAX with a stopover in HKG on the return. The HKG-SIN-HKG legs are in J (no 3 class aircraft when we want to fly).
Should I chose 1A/1K or 3A/3D? It looks like the 1AK combo will still allow us to talk and that way my wife gets a window as well (she has put up with my window preference all these years, but I know when she flies by herself, she has me get her a window seat). Are the 3AD seats that much closer together? My only CX experience in F lately was on a 343, and prior to that was on the old CX 801 SFO-YVR! BTW, my wife doesn't know about flying in F, she thinks we are in J the whole way.
Question 2...with the new CX schedule in place, how long do you think that CX will continue to have 2 night flights HKG-LAX? We are booked on CX 883 which used to be the daytime flight (and because of our SIN connection, we need to fly overnight), and that leaves at 2345 while CX 881 shows a 2330 departure-this is the Oct. 28 schedule-award seats were only available on CX 883, so I'm wondering if CX has a schedule change if they will either 1) reacommodate us on CX 881 or 2) give us a hotel for the night in HKG which I don't think too likely since we are on an award and schedule change reaccom not a rule 240 situation. Any thoughts?
