The A350 has to be it. Then the A380 if you're looking at passenger comfort on an airline that flies it. Most on here would avoid the densified B777s. The pressure onboard them is better too. The 787s haven't had great reviews from those carrierst that have them in Y.

I did like the A330 for the 2-3-2 config.

According to the CX on line timetable the only A330 service to Australia after end October 2020 will be CX 161/2 to/from SYD. ADL, BNE and PER will be all A350s and MEL a mix of A350 and 77W. This also fits with the reports that 8 of the existing 10 A33Ks will be converted to A33Js. Longer term additional A350s could be added to replace older A330s which could then be moved to the Dragon to replace the then most ancient, like the 27 year olds (B-HLJ & K), they they are still using.

B-HLO flew to Xiamen on December 16. It should return as a red Dragon. That leaves only 5 33Ps.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is HLN/HLO/etc.... tail number/plane identification? (oh oh... I googled it... lol...)

What's the logic behind the registration number/identifier scheme? Is that set by Cathay or the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department? And on that note, does anyone know where Cathay registers and domiciles their aircraft? Are they owned by companies in Hong Kong? Registered in Hong Kong? Or some mysterious Caribbean island with questionable banking regulations? hehehehe....

B-LAP is now a 33J. The 33J is a regional aircraft, so when the next regional J product is released, I expect all of the remaining A333 to get the product.

A little extra information. Under British rule the HK registry was Victor Romeo with only a 3 letter identifier following the VR. The paperwork to just go from VR-ABC to B-ABC was a lot easier.

Merry Christmas!

Anyone knows why HLQ and HLS will not receive 33J reconfiguration while other 33Ks will be converted to 33Js?

Hope that B-HLQ and B-HLS will be used for additional flights to Australia, and Middle East, like HKG - ADL / BNE / PER / DXB

why did you reopen this old thread, while there is one devoted to that specific topic?
