LHR-HKG
Hi FTs,
Finally got around to book the trip to Australia. Do CX use different configs of the 773 on the LHR-HKG sector? Outbound there was the small Business Cabin row 11/12 which was not possible to book online, however a quick phone call to CX sorted this, I believe this is due to OW Emerald status, do they block those seats? On the return however it seems it is a 3 class 773, starting at row 11 through to 23. I did not realise they utilise those on LHR flights, so we chose 12D/G to sit and at least eat together. The Airbus to and from Australia had most seats blocked out already (we travel in November) so we chose 2 window seats as 90% of the D seats showed unavailable (taken or blocked I guess). Having only travelled Australia-HKG and regional flights so far in CX J, we really look forward to the journey all the way this time. Might see at some stage how mich the upgrade to F on the LHR-HKG is as the whole itinerary with only 1 sector in F showed €9500 more p.P Any experience with that? Thanks againin advance for all your input fellow FTers |
The new business class is so good its simply not worth paying for F unless you want to burn miles, you will look at BA like a 2nd class carrier after this trip.

There are two types of 77Ws flying LHR HKG Route. 4 Class planes have a mini J cabin in front with rows 11,12. 3 Class planes have no F and a not quite as small mini J cabin behind the main J cabin.
I generally avoid row 12 middle seats of the mini cabin on 4 class because the toilet doors may slam and wake you up. |
is it possible to do mileage upgrade from PEY to J with the mini-cabin selected in 77H?

the only reason to fly F not J is ur guts wont be pushed to the side if you arent feeling 100% that day. and the krug and caviar if you care.
