For the record CX has treated me nothing but well in the past so I really have no issues with CX, and I left because 80% of my travels are intra-China or places not served by CX as much. But, I am trying my best to be DM again after the revamp. I only wish I've found FlyerTalk sooner as I was navigating blind in the past and the wealth of information here would of greatly enhanced my travel experiences (not to mention how to maximize the points and credit cards. I've wasted millions of Marco Polo points in the past).
