But life has changed! At least with the entry of LCCs HK Express and Tulip/Vanilla. Travel to Japan has become really reasonable for the past couple of years or so.
Of course Cathay gobbling up HK Express will probably change life again. Cheap fares are to Cathay what cheap phones are to Apple.
lcc charge up to 1000usd tokyo RT regardless over holidays.
nothing to cx “gobbling” up uo anyways.
