Its also worth taking the direct service to CTS rather than changing in TYO in my view.

And yes you get more TP on HKG-CTS... im exploring something similar myself to get my TPs up for the year...

On another note, ​​​​​​ even though im baec gold i have really flown BA all that much maybe one day there will be a post on the other forum "baec gold flying ba for the first time" lol..
Haha, that will be fun. There was a year I didn't fly CA or her subsidiaries once until I reached CA Gold - CA Gold flying CA for the first time...

It will be better flying CX LH. BA's CW is not exciting. I don't like the aisle seat because I am afraid of FA dropping things on me. I don't like the window seat because I have to step over the aisle seat passenger to get out.

Regional CX is not exciting either...
