SFO base.
*To/from SFO, I far prefer the crew on CX873/872, simply because I've flown those flights so many times I know half if not most the FAs on each flight these days. I know a few well enough to give them a heads up I'm flying on (x) date. I've read other people here with mixed reviews of them, including my partner who complained about service in J last month on CX873. But selfishly, because there is a virtually nil chance I don't know half the FAs, my service is exemplary.
As an fyi, the other two SFO flights are HKG base, although you can get an SFO FA here and there due to irregular scheduling, standby, etc.
I did CX873 two years ago and I recall that our ISM was Filipino who was HK based before moving to the US. I think the FP was also Filipino but raised in the US. I do recall that F was more relaxed, although they were pretty embarrassed when they saw me fixing the mattress prior to landing.
(Full house, a few passengers woke up rather late so things got a little busy)
Although it's still in November my LHR flight seems to be outport base.
