Well if CX builds their jets with the Y:J ratio like KE then it'll be redemptions galore...guaranteed 4 day availability any time of the year.

I don't suppose they'll discount the cirrus seats enough to get Guang Zhilv interested.

Since CX has such a stranglehold on landing spots (HKG at least), wouldn't it be more financially desirable to fly two 33Gs to places to peak season destinations rather than a A388? And park the extra 33G when demand doesn't support it?
