And they're planning on having only 2 (?) manned desks when they move to Changi T4 later in the year!
Unless my eyes are getting even worse than I thought, It seemed as if the whole aisle was manned today for my CX 690. I did notice however there were a lot more people using self check in but when I arrived, around 11.30, it was quite empty anyway so I used the desks as usual. I will wait to see how they do things at T4 but only 2 manned desks seems "ambitious" particularly for some of the less frequent flyers who fly on CX....but maybe then I will be forced to go self check in to avoid the queues.
