3. Tastes may vary, but I usually like the Chinese meal choices better than the Western ones on CX. But be aware that you can mix and match choices from both menus. It's not either/or.
4. If you really like caviar, don't be afraid to ask for more. If the cabin is full and they can't spare seconds, the worst the FA will do is very politely decline.
5. Arrive at the airport well rested so that the drinks or time of the flight won't quickly knock you out.
6. Seat choice can make this nice experience even nicer. Reserve your seat as far in advance as possible. If the plane is a 777, I'd suggest 1A as first choice and 2A as second choice. If a 747, I'd suggest either seat in row 2 as first choice and in row 3 as second choice. Reasons are explained in other threads.
7. The CX F seat is wonderfully wide. I believe that it that it has a fold-down mini-arm in its back that can serve as a more close-in arm rest if you so desire.
8. CX F FAs can make a pretty decent cappuccino for you.

Have a great trip!
