But yes SHA (together with PEK 386 / 390, HND 548, CTS, as mentioned above) is essentially a guaranteed route. It's really only these four for CX regional. If OP has some sort of status it wouldn't hurt to send in a word to protest
I actually kept the 1-2-1 because I reserved a 2nd row seat. I'm merely asking out of curiosity as I've made plain in the OP, and I heard people complain at the gate. Why is everything assumed to be a complaint or ways to get goodies? Isn't FlyerTalk a place to exchange information?? Anyway, thanks for the information.
