LAX 898/897 - day flight
LHR 239 - day flight, pax drink too much, 77G
YVR 855/856 - hated if 4 day, also because 35G + day flight
CDG - hated because bad hotel / 35G
MAN - hated because 35G and 4 day
MAD/BCN - lowest allowance (200 EUR) if 4-day, in addition 77G + always full load + pax profile
TLV - 4-day + pax profile (KSML) + 35G
Almost all Australia flights - 3 day patterns, no crew rest on 33K, pax drink too much
Short/medium haul
PEK/PVG - self explanatory (delays + too many DMs)
SIN - self explanatory (too many DMs / long hours turnaround = no allowance)
NRT 520/521, CTS 580/581, DPS 785/784 - longest same day turns, but many times done by crew that join the high hours scheme who are okay with that so its actually fine normally
Ex-Japan - pax shop too much, Hong Kongers complain too much
HKG-TPE-ICN/FUK/KIX/NRT/NGO flights - not enough time to finish service, long hours and low allowance, too many pax (773Z 33P etc)
MNL/CEB/CGK - many 'ma fan' IDs
Of course, you can't really see how they 'hate' them when they're on their job, because they have professionalism unlike their American peers.
Agree with most. Let me add a few more / clarify a some points:
* all 350 routes;
* all European flights (No $ and minimum days);
* SIN / KUL flights because most of them are "superior" to others;
* China flights because no one knows when their air space are closed;
* JPN flights they like, if it's a long stay i.e. overnight;
* HKG passengers are worse than their mainland counterparts. HKG passengers are always complaining, asking for upgrades, rude. Mainlanders, on the other hand, feed them rice and they're good for most of the flight!; and
* Indian flights
