Can't believe CX will repeat this mistake. Or do you think on this flight to HKG, this "day flight" (calling it this way, because your Swiss body clock will arrive in HKG just after midnight) will be popular?

Given that - at least in my book - SQ has the brand as truly better carrier than LX, while CX, certainly not having a shabby image, will be the "new guy" to prove themselves, with a route yet to introduce, I doubt they can be that successful. Or will they offer something that LX can't?
This is very good news!

In my case I much prefer to arrive HKG in the morning , much better for me from a jetlag point of view .

CX has to prove them selfs ? They are clearly on par with SQ .
Yes , they will offer something LX can't ( yet ), 777 vs 340 with flintstone F seats.
