If I want to keep the max number of F flights I have two choices.
CX451 which goes via TPE and arrives in HKG at 21:20
or
CX505 direct which arrives in HKG at 22:05
The reason I didn't go with the 505 in the first place was the tight connection, although legal it is.
I can't afford to miss the HKG-DEL flight as the next flight is not until 3 days later.
Any suggestions? Sit it out in the regional J class 330 flight I am booked on or change to CX451 or 505?
Anyone had any good/bad experiences with the NRT-TPE-HKG flight?
Is it likely to change back between now and September?
At first, Don't rely on CX520/521 for F class. These flights are notrious as frequent ship changes.
CX505 arrives at 22:05
CX753 departs at 22.55 on Tuesday of SEP2006 (next DEL flight is on Friday)
50min connection is tight, but probably OK.
In my experience of CX505, this flight tends to arrive early in Summer.
Of course, CX451 is safety.
CX450/451,504/505 are definitely operated by 744.
CX451 NRT/TPE/HKG is an ordinary regional F flight.
