JFK -> HKG Tues Sept 4th HKG -> JFK Tues Sept 18th Premium Economy Standard (E): $1975.76 USD Premium Economy Flex (W): $5759.76 USD If I am not mistaken, the E class fare is simply the same as what used to be the R class fare. No further discounts compared to the "standard" PE fare before they introduced E class. Looks like this is simply a label change. As a comparison, this is $367 higher than an H class (Economy Standard) fare. |
Looks like E class is now being utilised...there is a companion fare special in Y+ to Australia that books into E class.
This special is pretty good - I'm guessing that there's a lot of Y+ capacity now across all airlines to oz (QF/VS/CX) that isn't being taken up. |

A question that might be off the topic...
Say if I get a PE ticket have my trip confirmed, CX changed the aircraft at the last minute and the new plane does not have PE seats... where am I going to sit? Back to Economy I am afraid? Is that a reasonable complaint if CX does this to Y+ SLCs? http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_...SYDNYC-18JUN12 Terms and Conditions: 1. Premium Economy class may not be available on all flight segments. Where Premium Economy class is not offered/available, passengers will travel in Economy class without refund/compensation. |

Just want to clarify this as it's now been confirmed by CX...
http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_...SYDNYC-18JUN12 I reckon it's ridiculous to pay AUD4k+ to get something that can't even guaranteed... why do I bother to take this risk while QF guarantees the seats and offers shorter turnover time. |
