It's not as bad as it used to be. A roundtrip to MAN in J was selling for $39k. 'Not very big of a difference,' said my dad when QR was charging $20k. 'You won't get shot down and catch MERS, and I don't know how to do transit anyway, such a waste of time' So tons and tons of O/D people would still be happy with CX's reduced ex-HKG prices nowadays I suspect.
