A slight relieve though it’s not realising in this year. Fingers crossed.
I guess the “ecosystem” more refers to a portfolio of shopping, travel, experience etc. What CX has done over the last two years should give us some clues. I guess rumors access to some private clubs under discussion also makes sense from this perspective? It is understandable that CX management trying to squeeze more profits outside its fleet. The fleet is not growing anyway in the short and medium term.
My personal view is CX may have fully exploited the real high end of ex-HKG group for their demand for intercontinental / transpacific travel. A BA like overhaul will hurt transit, open jaw, ex-AUS, EU, TW business as I firmly believe. But who knows…
I do 1400-1800 SPs these years, a combination of both open jaw and ex-HKG tickets. I don’t mind going down to 1200 or up to 2000ish for the best value. But really appreciate more simplicity and visibility than complexity, to leave some brain power for somewhere else of my life.
