CX had the excuse where 'We are better than most other airlines so we can sell the seats at higher prices.' But when a major premium service carrier goes on fare sales(hasn't happened once, but many other times, e.g. LAX-NRT, SFO-HKG, JFK-FRA, IAH-DME-SIN), then they should be asking themselves instead of just matching CN-Everywhere fares, should there be something else they can do to improve financially.
Why SQ will have a price cut to the premier cabin?
It is simply because they can't fill it without price cut.
