Typhoon mini-do
Greetings from the wing lounge lower floor. Any FTers also stranded in HKG want to meet up? Also, it's less crowded in The Wing than The Cabin. Earlier in the day, we had additional entertainment in the form of pax shouting at the door from time to time with police called.

I just checked on cx883, listed as canceled so far.
typhoon related?
I hope you get the most enjoyment out of the lounge. too bad the construction is not done on the first class area.

Some ppl did learn from Apple Daily stories and YouTube... They think the louder they shout the more likely they'll get compensation. Well it works for CX sometimes though. :-)

This is the modern Hong Kong culture nowadays - people try to keep complaining for themselves until they are satisfied... even on the mean of sacrificing others' rights.

Even if there are planes you need certified crew with the available flying hours.
It always amazes me how loud and rude these people are until they have to deal with non CX and non Canto speaking airline staff.

I count 8 flights cancelled already for today. What's the odds more flights get cancelled when operations wakes up this morning and start counting the planes and crew?

We were at the Cabin the night of July 24 and our flight ended up getting canceled. It was really, really packed - I should have checked The Pier. Originally we went to the Wing but they were turning away customers.
InY, hopefully you made it out ok. We finally made it out to our final destination on the morning of July 25.

Hi from the wing. From what I seeing now it largely returned to normal, except the wonton today is but salty.

It's like a KMB bus queue - people will queue if everyone else does. But if one C9 successfully cuts the line and pushes her way onto the bus, the queue will devolve into a mob.

國泰被轟大細超
有旅客批評國泰安排失當，亦有旅客經投訴才獲供餐券或賠償，「見班細路一直無嘢食，全部瞓晒响地下，但國泰 大細超，識投訴就有，唔出聲就乜都無！」

Well what can you assume if you have huge line waiting for answer, do you expect the staff can proactively come to you and say "here's you meal voucher?" People just inconsiderate nowadays and always think "I spent money hence I am king"
There's another round of complain that MTR doesn't help those people stuck on train to go home. They should think of those maintainence staff still out there fixing the overhead wire at t10.... Is kind of sad to see how people in Hong Kong being develop towards
