I think CX serves 2 meals even in Y (if they are like DXB). Actually how do you know CX will serve 1 meal? The route haven't even started.
As for luggage. Don't really care as I have DM.
QR is really bad for J Class if they continue use the 332 to HKG.
No question that CX serves two meals on an 8-hour flight, but I question the quality/quantity for those of us who fly Y. The chicken and red medlar congee served for breakfast (2nd meal) on the midnight departure from HKG to DOH on QR (Y) was some of the best plane congee, with slivers of ginger to be seen floating on top. And fruit was a combination of papaya, pineapple and grapes, not just two pieces of watermelon.
Meal offerings on the 0100 departure from DOH to HKG on QR consisted of two full meals (both lunch/dinner types). None of this lunch/dinner followed by breakfast/brunch stuff on CX.
There is something really odd about QR's timing on meal services. The second meal is served THREE hours before landing. Imagine Doha to HKG on a good day with strong wind - 7-hour flight. You would have eaten your first meal and served your second meal three hours later.
Now, customer service on the ground with QR can go TERRIBLY wrong when something happens to your flight. In this regard CX wins. Unfortunately I had THAT experience.
