a. I actually prefer flying Cathay. SQ is a pretty good backup option, but being OW Emerald seems to get me better treatment even though I’m PPS as well.
b. I booked these CX flights almost 6 months ago - it’s a family repatriation, not a pleasure trip. Our visas are expiring in Singapore, so we can’t just hang out here as long as we like.
c. Even when flying in Business class, I don’t like the 16-hour nonstop from SIN to either LAX or SFO - much prefer to break up the trip. And this one won’t be in Business.
But at this stage, I’ll fly whoever I can get so long as I can rely on it operating on July 1. So hopefully JL won’t cancel like CX and SQ did.
