Is it the same layout for A330s or A350s in PE?
There are a few daily direct flights from LHR-HKG but I opted for the slightly cheaper fare (few hundred £) and do it with a stopover in MXP. I was surprised that more than half of the flight from LHR to MXP were transferring to the HKG flight. 100 people! Everyone was already seated comfortably on board when we were boarding. In hindsight, I don't think I'll do 2 stop overs again, one is enough.

I love the acknowledgement. It goes a long way! I saw something similar on the MXP-HKG flight. Whilst we were descending into HKG, the purser approached a passenger in PE, squatted down, and said it was nice to see him flying again and later thanked him. This was the first time I've seen this which contributed to my decision to fly with Cathay Pacific whenever I am heading to Asia or flying in that region. Incredible service!
