Also International Business Class when domestic F ("big front seat") is used for regional international markets.

Trolleys as a First class-like element? LOL lay off the COol-Aid.

I never saw a single trolley on Cathay F last month, nor did I expect to or want to. If anything trolleys are the hallmark of mass market services, thus their ubiquity for meal service in coach.
