As a relatively infrequent CX flyer with fond memories of J trips pre COVID and Pier F etc I was a little apprehensive about a number of trips we have as part of our current vacation. In actual fact had a fantastic crew on a flight from KIX to HKG recently - attentive towards the kids, friendly, frequently checking whether we wanted additional drinks and a great hard product on the A350 for a short business flight.
Maybe having low expectations helped, maybe we were lucky - we have 3 more flights in the next 10 days to assess - but so far, so good
Now if Pier F opens in the next week that really would be the icing on the cake…
