But...that's my point exactly! It's only meaningful to the operator and meaningless (or you might say it means suffering) to the purchaser.
From my angle, going ex-TPE to places like SIN and KUL, the LCCs often cost more than even CX, for both economy and business. Can I rub it in a little more -- Air Asia X premium costing the same or more than CX business class.
Are you saying that I should ignore all the lounges I get to access, and all the extra food and baggage allowances and mileage provided to me, just because CX might fail in the long run to my peril? Cos I'll do whatever you say...
