Since I exclusively fly PEY now let me make some injections, exclusively on "soft service" differences:

1) They hand you a warm towel and serve you a drink at first. I doubt US3 has that.

2) The food is much better than any US3 Y-meal. The service may be "methodical" and lack "personal touch", I guess that means she didn't smile at you or flirt with you?

3) They DO make water runs, perhaps you were asleep? They don't make it that often, but when I stay awake full flight I count at least 2-3 times per flight they make such a run.

4) They hand each pax a bottle of Evian Water.

5) The galley is fully stock with decent snacks and self-serve water/orange juice.

6) Use the call button, they come up pretty quick (usually)

7) Cup-of-Noodles made to order. Very wide selection of drink offerings (last time I flew US3 international it's either Coke, Sprite or Diet Coke, is that still the case?)

To compare CX to US3 is ridiculous, even on soft product alone and discount the superior hard product CX PEY offers
