Hi,

I’m a regular visitor to the FT BAEC Forum and I’ve not ventured here before, so please be gentle!

I’m going to be flying to flying LHR-HKG in December 2008. I’m looking for some additional flights for my trip and CX look like they could help.

I’m looking to fly HKG-BKK on 22/12, then BKK-HKT on 24/12 and finally HKT-HKG on 04/01/09.

I’ve found CX to be quite expensive if booking direct on their website. 600 GBP, 1200 USD, 37,630 THTB for two people HKT-HKG in economy. Is this fare typical, or do you think it is seasonally high? Does anyone know what the loading is like for this flight? I couldn’t find Business availability to compare the cost, is this an all economy flight?

Before I go ahead and book, I just wanted to make sure I was missing a trick and felt this was the best place to ask the question.

Should I be considering other another airline? Ideally I would like to earn BA Miles/Teir points, but only if it financially makes sense.

I’ve a BA Exec Club Silver Card Holder which I believe is equivalent to oneworld Sapphire.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Regards

Chris
