Good point. FWIW my post was from last year when it was scheduled as a 744. It was a 744 when I flew it, though I have also flown CX751 HKG-BKK in the winter schedule when it was scheduled as a longhaul 333 and had it swapped for the shorthaul config. That's par for the course on CX intra-Asia. My anecdotal experience is the 744 flights are less likely to have aircraft swaps than the 77W flights, which become 772/773s quite frequently.
