Hi Tedhl, I don't know how much is spent but my pattern is similar to two other DMPs, so there must be a common theme. We do a fair amount of long-hauls in F and extensive Js around Asia. We rack up about 120k miles in about 3-4 months.

Being HK-based, we have little choice but to fly CX within Asia but:

... on long-hauls, we are all very very wary about the 2 FAs in F for 744A. (Word of advice for CX: we DO have a choice between airlines because we travel with clients often, and we can choose to have the last meeting either in HK or SIN before springboarding to US or Europe).

All of us fly SQ between HKG and SIN when the SQ New Biz Class is available. Even if CX puts the 744A in this sector, SQ wins hands down (even with their quirky flop bed) because there is just much much more room ^

Don't get me wrong, I think CX is a quality airline. But a bit more fine-tuning with the MPO program and inflight services are needed if it wants to keep our loyalty
