Flying HKG-NRT on 12.05. I asked for sparkling water but still water was served, not a major and a genuine mistake. What I am more concerned about was that the water was tap water.

I only discovered this when I tasted it and it had a strong taste (and smell) of Chlorine.

I remember Cathay always serve still water from a large bottle and never tap water. The attendant informed me it was a change in policy and she would write up my complaint.

Either I have never noticed this before or it really is a change that CX are serving tap water now?

Anyone else have similar experience or this is an isolated case?
