CX is totally over rated.
Beside - people think too heavily on the airline ratings. IMHO - they are never accurate. |

I am not defending OP. However - I believe many people have set their expectation too high (which I have done in the past). Once you have an expectation, it will be difficult to form any objective opinion for or against the service you received.
Beside - people think too heavily on the airline ratings. IMHO - they are never accurate. I flew SQ last month and they had no power sockets, no USB's a terrible and outdated tv screen and menu and inedible food- and this was a Longhaul flight. yet SQ is the most reputed airline in the world and most think it is superior to CX even though CX ticks all the boxes... airline ratings are just bizarre |

Jeez are people nowadays started complaining about a 2 hour delay? lol try telling that to the poor lads flying PEK or PVG every other week. Granted CX is slipping further down the ranks but some of the bashing they have got are utterly unreasonable.

The other problem is accountability. US airlines are accountable with service and timeliness due to US regulations and are penalized if regulations are not met. I don't believe foreign airlines faced with the same regulations. Unfortunately, "some" foreign airlines take advantage of this and don't give a rats patoot how they treat passengers. But I can confidently say that most do their utmost best to win passengers over.
Would you please quote the exact USA penalties if these regulations are not met Clause by clause. Sentence by sentence. The USA regulation for "No restrooms" (in an airline lounge) and "inattentive ground and flight crew" is of interest. And others. The Eu has regulation EU261 on timeless (or lack thereof) due to airline operations. USA airlines are exempt when they fly into Eu. They would end up paying mega $$ if Eu261 applied to them.

After brexit is finalized, will EU261 be still in effect for flights to and from UK?

Given Switzerland, a non-EU member, voluntarily to adopt EC261, there is no reason why Brexit will affect. In fact, it is even possible that the U.K. will have a tougher law than EC261. |

In addition to the answers above its worth noting EU261 does not apply to non-EU airlines, i.e CX, flying to the EU. Only the departing flights are covered.

Troll probably hasn't even stepped foot aboard any plane, ever.
AA doesn't fly HKG-ORD. 2-hour delay :rolleyes: |
I think this topic has been hashed out now. Thanks everyone for contributing.
