Sorry, I would not be asking about this if it is the 777-300 as from the get-go CX is pretty clear about how they distinguish between their regional (773 or 77P) and long-haul (77W) variants in the booking page. Their A330 is a different story.

Is CX relatively shifty about aircrafts it uses on regional flights (e.g. one day it’s a long-haul A330, the next it could be an A35K or a 773 or 77W) as compared to the likes of SIA? The thing about SIA is that aircraft configuration swaps are very rare and you can rely on the aircraft displayed far ahead to be the aircraft to be used on the day you’ll fly. Too bad SIN is quite out of my way to use as a transit point for my intended final destination.

That said, a morning A35K might be available except that I face an overnight stopover (I don’t want to disturb my sibling who lives there just for an actual late night arrival at his residence and a pre-dawn departure from there).
