not OFW but DH specifically.
only now do i realize that it must be a big market.
how different is this concept from balesin "nanny menu"? that was a minor brouhaha.
but hey if yaya can fly CX instead of 5J, all the best to yaya. (nanny).

Like what Kaka mentioned above Filipinos compose a big majority of domestic helpers in HK, so it is natural for CX to target this market. If you noticed this is also offered on the HK website (and not the PH website) perhaps because most if not all the travels done by domestic helpers are paid by employers, hence it makes sense to target the employers to pick CX/KA.
KA flights to Clark is also good for people living in Northern and Central Luzon, in fact even those who live in the northern parts of Metro Manila might want to look at CRK as an option to avoid the Metro Manila traffic. KA service to Clark isn't much different from 5J except maybe for the bottled water and Kee Wah cookies. KA operates a mono-class 320, so there's no premium service on those flights.

Not sure about flights to MNL but I check the flights to CGK. Some are definitely cheap but many are essentially the same as regular fares. I can't find the booking codes but presumably these DH fares are more restrictive (say not upgradeable to J
) so I'm not sure what's the real benefit ...

I wonder if employment agencies get kickback from CX if they book these DH fares?
