Yes, lounges are nice.
Cabin crews are standard intra-asia. Never wowed me.
Food is Alpo just like every other intra-asian airline (in coach).
I don't fly AA. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Never. Ever. So I don't want to be in their program. So I'm earning Asia Miles. (See also: Terrible program comments in original post.)
I don't understand why everyone goes so gaga for CX! And I fly them a lot... just not HKG-SFO.
