What door is used to board/deboard 773ER?
My family and I will soon be flying HKG-KUL on CX, 773ER.
We need to hurry out of the plane to make a tight connection, and therefore would like to select seats nearest to the door that'll most likely be used to exit the aircraft in KUL.
We're flying business class.
What door does CX (or KUL airport) normally use for this type of an aircraft, L1 or L2 (or do they use both - L1 for business, L2 for coach?)
Thanks,
Bostonbali

Both L1 and L2. For boarding, L1 for F/J and L2 for W/Y. For deboarding, usually it's L2 for port aisle and L1 for starboard aisle.

Lastly please be reminded that you need to be at the boarding gate 30 minutes before departure to avoid any disruption to your travel plans.

...ok... Thanks for the PSA... The boarding cut-off depends on the airline. In my case, I'll be flying back out of KUL (as indicated on my post) with MH. Their cut-off is actually 20 minutes per their policy.

I remember the "be at gate 30 minutes prior" thread from earlier this year, but have yet to receive a boarding pass of this ilk. As such, I continue to adhere to t-20 without incident.

Due to the stupid new OW rule, we'll be schlepping everything in our carry-ons, no checked luggage. Can't begin to describe how idiotic this rule is, but I'm not the first one to complain about it...
