CX372 from MAD Saturday and Sundays 1125-0705
Doesn't this require two planes, the first departs "Wednesday night" from HK and arrives Thursday morning in MAD and then sits there waiting. The second departs "Friday night" from HK and arrives Saturday morning in MAD, both planes are in MAD between 0820-1125, the first heads back to HK and the second a day later...1st sits in MAD for two days and 2nd for a day, why not schedule it more "B2B" style?
interesting/curious....the first week of Jan CX is only selling the 315 to MAD on Thursday 5th but not the Saturday 7th, and not selling either of the 372s (Sat 7th,8th) back to HK....maybe the 372s are full from folks heading back for CNY...but the 315 on Sat that's not being sold is full? Doubt it...so there's just one flight to MAD on Thursday, and just one flight back Sat or Sun, and it's full so not on sale?
