In-flight surveys
Has anyone received (and filled out) on of those lengthy surveys distributed during flights? I think it's about 5 pages of 10 pt font. Apparently they draw one winner for a free CX flight (coach).
FWIW, I've only received them while flying F.

I've lost count of how many times I have filled it out, but I have the feeling that I am selected nearly every time (BTW, I always fly in J). Either the FAs like me, or more likely they have figured out - correctly - that I won't bark at them when they ask me to complete it !
Two things irritate me about the form:
- there is no space for comments
- there is a question about how many flights you have taken on that particular route and on other routes over the last 12 months, split between business and pleasure, and between CX/KA and other airlines...even reading it gives me a headache !

I have filled many of these surveys before 2007. One year I was rewarded with 10000 asia miles as a token of appreciation. Never filled one since then. I think the computer has pre-selected which pax to fill the survey.

No they don't, I'm pretty sure it is random because the FA always go up and down the aisles with it, looking for friendly faces to fill them.

Given the extent and detailed nature of the survey, I think more incentivizing passengers with more than a 5 dollar coupon (which presumably has a minimum purchase far higher than 5 bux) is required to help get more responses. Who knows though - maybe most people do indeed return them with hopes of getting a free flight!
Personally I did it the first time and the second I just tucked it away behind all the magazines!

In-flight surveys
And just today, I received an email for an online survey, with 5000 Asiamiles or a USD40.9 Amazon voucher for every 20th respondent...
Used to get a lot of the inflight surveys, but the frequency had dropped a fair bit over the last couple of years.
