I've been pretty busy of late preparing for 28 hours aboard Cathay Pacific's First Class to Africa. In the meantime I've thoroughly enjoyed all the questions and answers posted. Kudos to everyone for the superb repartee!
Now, now,
Seat 2A! Please reconsider as your questions have been excellent as well.
What I really and truly like about this thread is that everyone brings something different to the table and the discussion has not been marred by any unpleasant remarks (which has been quite evident with regard to the UA and CO folks on a number of their threads what with the merger).
So please continue and I shall do the same with my mundane questions as well! And I hope you enjoy your front cabin adventure on CX (which ranks right up there as one of the best carriers, service-wise, out there in my book).
