marcuslai, first let me say - what an amazing photo blog! I was enraptured with a number of your pictures.
As to Cathay, I was relieved to learn from both you and studio76 that the picture I had linked was the last row in the upper deck, and not the exit row. marcuslai, thank you for your photos of the upper deck, which would certainly be an asset to the information at airliners.net. I just called Cathay, and was able to get 86K for both flights. I feel really good about that, now that I've seen your pictures and had your reassurance.
