And they only resumed LAX-HKG last October! Also, an indictment of how things are going at CX as they are flying LAX-HKG thirteen times a week instead of thrice daily as they did in the past.
FWIW this winter it seems like CX is only flying LAX-HKG once a day instead of their current almost twice a day (or at least only selling that one flight). Never thought I'd see the day when UA doubles up CX on frequency on this route.
