should CX launch these routes?
1. HKG-LGW, 74A/77A, codeshare with BA (to provide people 1 more choice to get to London, just like the case of HKG-NRT and HKG-HND (once started on 31/10/2010))
2. HKG-TXL, 74A/77A, codeshare with AB (to connect with Oneworld's future member, AB)
3. HKG-DOH, 34B (to compete with QR)
4. HKG-NAN, 330/773 (to operate this route by CX, no more codesharing)
5. HKG-EWR, 77A, codeshare with AA (to provide people 1 more choice if they want to avoid JFK, and to break Star Alliance's (CO) monopoly on that route, one more gateway for connecting with MX)
6. HKG-CBR, 33B/34B (to avoid the hassle of transiting at BNE/SYD)
7. HKG-HBA, 34B (to provide non-stop service to Tasmania)
8. HKG-WLG, 34B (to provide second stop in New Zealand)

also, should CX implement these improvements:
1. increase CX156/7 to a daily flight, making HKG-BNE 2x Daily.

Come on, this isn't Airliners.net with the armchair CEO stuff & willy nilly suggestions for random routes...

You are actually kidding right? Are you implying there isn't armchair CEO'ing and willy nilly suggestions on FT? Seriously?

Regards

......

Ok, yes they should.

Next thread of suggestions....

Fine, I'll concede that armchair CEO stuff happens on FT but at least it seems to be somewhat more grounded in reality than the other site. As for willy nilly, I said willy nilly route suggestions for random routes, which for the most part doesn't exist on FT. Sure, I've seen threads like this one where the understanding is that people are just throwing out things they'd like to see in a perfect world, whereas stuff like the OP apparently seriously throwing out another eight routes CX should open are pretty rare around here.

I think I'm going to come defend Kevincrumbs a bit here. Of course some armchair CEO'ing happens on FT. It would be damaging to us or FT if we didn't try to do some lobbying of sorts

That being said, the problem that I think Kevincrumbs and myself to a certain degree finds annoying isn't necessarily suggesting new routes or practices or lounge access. It's the rate that he is suggesting the idea or the feasibility of the idea itself.

The CX Forum is a bit of a quiet bunch so you don't notice us post alot unless it's worth saying something
Scubadu, since I know you do post on the AA forum, would you agree that if the OP posted such a large amount of suggestion over there, he won't get flamed?

I believe that CBR and HBA have no international flights at all, so I can't see that happening.

These are all fantastic suggestions...I mean LGW, great hub and so convenient - close thread and next

There is not even a non stop PER-HBA flight, no way a HKG-HBA flight be viable.
HBA can handle international passengers, ANZ have previously had a CHC service a while back. There is the Skytraders A319 flight to the Casey station in Antarctica but these flights are not open to the general public.
