Just got off CX806 yesterday..a couple of observations:

1. I noticed in the Y galley (by row 54) that they had a couple of stickies with names, seat numbers and MPC status for SL members and above in Y (there were three SLs including myself and two GOs). I found this strange; I thought they normally only take note of GOs and DMs? There was no special service (no greeting etc, but that was expected as SL) up until the second meal service, when a purser came to ask me for my meal choice, as they were going to start serving from the back (I was seated in 31A). This too was the first time I have been asked in advance for my meal choice as a SL! Unfortunately I don't think she ever followed up on it; I was not served my meal first, nor did the FA serving my aisle know my choice when she got to my row. I really don't care: as a SL I don't expect any of this extra service, and I still got my choice.

2. There was a thread about this a while back, but the moving map was turned OFF the whole flight (even on the ground in HKG).

3. During his pre-take-off announcement, the captain mentioned that passengers were prohibited from congregating in aisles, galleys and toilet areas, as this was a flight bound for the US. The ISM then repeated this during her post-take-off announcement. This was the first time I had heard such an announcement in my 10+ US-bound flights in the past two or so years on any airline.
