With MU/FM, I've flown PVG-LAX, PVG-LHR, PVG-MNL, SHA-CAN, CAN-NKG and NKG-LAX. Next year, PVG-DEL and PVG-BKK will be added to the mix. With CZ, I've flown CAN-MNL, AMS-PEK, PEK-XMN, XMN-MNL and SZX-NNG.
Again, it might be that I have a poor sense of smell, but I didn't smell smoke in the cabin on any of my flights. Whether that changes will be seen, but I'll keep an open mind.
