In any event, I wouldn't be too upset if you don't get on CX 831. While not a bad flight, I did not find it up to the usual CX standards. I wrote a report about it. You can do a search under my name in Trip Reports if you are interested.
I read your report last July (or August?). It's a shame that on the direct route that service is slipping, but I guess that's what you get for the longest or second longest flight in the world. I'll wait out the 831, but I won't cry if I don't get it, after all, it's still CX!
