I was told PEY in theory has dedicated stewardess but that person is usually hiding in the Y cabin, PEY gets ignored after standardized meal services, and PEY E fare is usually doubles (from premium-Y fare) and triples-quadruples (from discount-Y fare) and still gets the same amount of points as premium-Y? LOL
Ex-Taiwan, M class fare and E class fare are very close (as such I can hardly convince myself to use miles for Y-to-W upgrades), and K class fare and E class fare are almost identical. It might be different in other origins, but looking at ex-Taiwan fare it certainly makes sense that K class and E class earns the same number of points.
Sticking to the topic, though, AFAIK W and Y pax get the same food for HKG-TPE-HKG, and I think this is where I really don't agree with CX. At least W pax should get a full meal, no matter what.
I believe I mentioned here once, but for those of you who really want to have a full meal in Y, I travelled on HKG-RMQ-HKG a few times in the past few months, and every time there's a full meal served. Also my friend mentioned that you can get a full meal by requesting KSML (kosher meal) on HKG-TPE-HKG.
