Cathay would need much more comprehensive codeshare with S7 to make this work. Remember when AB was still around, it was convenient to fly HKG-DUS-VCE/VIE/TXL? If CX & S7 could replicate that and give some coverage to central and southern Europe, that'd be great.

IIRC, the problem with S7 is that a lot of their flights run only once or twice a week, making code-share arrangements like what mentioned above difficult. S7 has a lot of destinations, but poor frequency in general.
