Cathay Pacific versus Singapore Airlines. Which is best for Frequent Flyers?

tboons - Imho- better straight up with SQ, but much better for CX elites.

Fuel surcharges better on CX.

F&B better on SQ.

Lounge access - better on CX (no of guests, when one has access etc).

Regional hardware better on SQ, but they stretch the definition of regional (8hrs odd, wheras with CX you get longhaul product on most flights >4 hrs).

Longhaul hardware better on CX.

Seat guarantees- way better on CX (SQ recently started in coach but on v high fareclasses only, and only for the highest status holders- used to be guaranteed coach seat if booking biz).

Soft aspects- wayyy better on CX imho.
