Hello everyone,

I just got off CX712 recently, and whilst flying in Y, I noticed a few things.

First, the PEY cabin curtains were closed on this regional flight, which I found was interesting. Perhaps this may be by design of having PEY seemingly empty.

Second, as DM, I was offered a bottle of Evian, though as far as I know, only DMs were offered water (there were 2 in Y AFAIK), and not OWE. I was travelling with my mum who is Emerald with BA, and she was greeted as usual, though not offered water. Is this the new norm?

Third, I also noticed that the crew also didn’t greet any Gold members either, as I noticed the passenger in the bulkhead was a Gold (GO tags, queued at J line). I understand the crew may just not be proactive in greeting, and I’ve been lucky (or unlucky?) to be greeted on all my CX flights when I held Gold, though what was unusual is that this crew we had was quite the delightful bunch, and was proactive and anticipatory whenever I interacted with them.

Fourth, I also find it rather sad that CX doesn’t block seats for elites anymore, esp. when BA and AA (and occassionally MH?!!) are still doing so, even for OW elites.
