Just had another excellent CI flight and the service has again been above and beyond the call. Flew TPE-KUL as part of my 5 week routine and the route is normally serviced by a 330 or 777, this time it was serviced by a 747. At check in, I was thanked for being a ST "VIP" and she said that the flight is very full, but the upstairs is open and asked if it would be OK for me to sit in the UD. She said that it would be coach service, but in Business seating... OK sure, as far as I am concerned, the better seat is more important than the BE type service. On the plane, the pursor greeted me with a "Hello, Mr. XXXX" and said that he and the crew would ensure that I was comfortable and thanked me for the being a ST EP. I didn't see him go to the others. Great service and only eight people in the UD with the older Business seats, but quiet and roomy still. I can't complain about CI.
