Seriously! lol

Being DM based in Hong Kong, we usually get close to nothing but most expensive air tix price tags! :D

We actually get nothing. Years ago I was invited to one event for Bottega prosecco, but that's it. I think I was invited to one event in Singapore when I lived there too, and I remember there were even MPC Gold members there because there were so few DM's.

I went to the dinner in Singapore a couple of weeks ago. There were around 40-50 pax. It was a nice dinner. Full five course at Flutes at the National Museum. Free flow of drinks.
I was told by CX staff there are currently around 200 DM's in Singapore but they expect that to drop with the changes by half.
I appreciated the dinner invitation.

Unfortunately a common result from being located in a captive market. I mean it's not like you all in HKG are going start flying HK Express ;)

So US DMs get Christmas presents and PVG and SIN DMs get evening dinner. How about EU DMs?

For UK based DM and GO, the London team usually puts together the following events:

• Christmas drinks at The Ritz
• Racing day at Ascot (with 3 course lunch + afternoon tea included) - usually in June or July

plus a couple of drinks/canapes events such as at an art gallery, or a movie viewing etc. (This year we had invitation to see War Horse and drinks at a CX marketing roadshow at Canary Wharf (or Manchester); last year there were some art gallery exhibitions + drinks, the year before there was a screening of a chinese film I think.)

But we don't get any gifts.

I'm not saying whether this is good or bad, I'm just telling it how it is... :D

As a HK based DM I was given 4 passes to clockenflap in 2014 (had to nominate which day I wanted). Nothing this year.

I am a HK based DM and did not even get a thank you for flying 1 million miles with CX...have given up expecting anything for Christmas a couple years ago.

I am in MNL, BKK and PNH often for work though. Might shift my address to one of the 3 (probably not PNH as I loath KA) and see.... If I don't shift airline all together (will start testing SQ to SFO and EK to MXP in the next 4 weeks).

Damn, I just moved from Shanghai.

Oh is that what that was. A crappy power kit or a crappy "Executive Gift Set?"

Wow, I feel so appreciated for flying 165k+ miles on CX alone.

I would be more than happy to trade the gift with what you guys get in the UK.

So for the UK it isn't limited to only DM but also include GO?
