Hi SD1K,

Just took the LAX-HKG flight 10 days ago. As GB said, you will received a full meal service with caviar. Serving their usual Krug.

As others have said, CX will serve what you want whenver you want. I normally order what I want when they come around just in case they run out of my choice. That has only ever happened once but I didn't ask for that meal until half way into the flight. Normally, CX is great. More than enough meal choices for everyone unlike UA. Also, the white rice is cooked on the plane.

Breakfast choice is an option of chinese and english. I wish I kept my menu so I could post it here. I just remember the typical eggs, bacon, etc... and for chinese, dim sum, congee, etc... The eggs are cooked fresh on the plane.

As others have said, the LAX CX lounge is terrible! The F lounge is a tiny room at the back of the C lounge. I should have gone to another 1W lounge. The BA/QF F lounge has better seats and more lighting. And as I remember from before, the food is better than the CX lounge.

Have a good trip!
