If you wouldn't mind, could you please kindly help confirm/clarify a few things on
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/国泰航空航点 that I have not yet been able to confirm?
1. When did CX stop its own service to HAN? The page only had 2003 without an exact date. Don't know if your 2003 issue happen to cover the termination. CX continued the joint-venture with VN afterwards for quite a few years.
2. The ZRH flight terminated on 30APR2001, but was what terminated CX's own service, or code-share with SR? I vaguely remember the service was just a code-share with SR and not CX's own metal, or did both exist? It would be really wonderful if you can help look into the few issues before 2001, too!
3. Does your collection cover when CX last operated to MRU by any chance (i. e., does the 1998 summer issue you have include MRU)?
4. The page said CX operated twice weekly to IST from 08AUG1998 to 15NOV2001, but like the ZRH one, was it CX's own service or a code-share with TK, or did both exist?
Many, many thanks!
Thanks for sharing! I would also like to have record of my travel before 2000 (I kept all my boarding passes and tickets since) but unfortunately don't have anything other than vague memory. I only started using email in 2000, too.

3. MRU
1998 Summer timetable doesn't have MRU (no destination between Manila and Melbourne)
4. IST
From timetable (1 Jul 1998 - 24 Oct 1998)
From 08Aug1998
CX301 HKG to IST 1500 2120 (36,WedSat) (CX operated flight, 343, no other flight isn't on the timetable)

BTW, most CX flights had NON-SMOKING flight mark! (including CX301,302)
However, HKGNRT flights don't have NON-SMOKING mark. So, still had a smoking-section.
