update
I flew the second and third legs of the paid J trip. Leg two was uneventful. But leg three...
I used up my battery to a large degree on the NRT express (1 1/2hours) before boarding CX from NRT-HKG. Got this inferior J class that I belive is called "Reigonal Business class". The plane was a 777-300. I went to plug in my empower cord and had no juice. The FA told me "The plane was only three weeks old and hadn't been in to refit it for the power yet".
I was dumbstruck.
1) How come they didn't hook up the power when they installed the seats on a BRAND NEW PLANE???
2) How come they don't care about the needs of their business customers. This caused me a HUGE problem as I needed to work on the plane. This is why I bought business class. Not every seat in coach has power. And the web site of CX touts:
"PC power and data
Within easy reach to power your laptop, this is one feature we never take for granted - keeping you connected wherever you are! "
How can they say, they "don't take it for granted?" It was a friggin brand new plane. There is no excuse for not having operating power ports.
3) Then to add insult to injury my next flight (different ticket) connection had NO power ports at all in the old seats in J. Again how is this "not taking it for granted".
I am becoming very sick of all these seeming "fake" apologies. How about stop apologizing and get the product right???
Now I feel CX owes me even more compensation. I would have never have flown a bozo outfit if I was going to do 7 hours flying (NRT-HKG-SIN) without power! Thoughts on the power thing?
