i dont think so as it will be announced on in the media like they did for their US and Canada bases. And I don’t think the Union in LON base will be quiet if that were to happen.

Am I the only one who thinks that no CX crew would want to work in Y on the new A321neo?
I mean I can totally understand from the crew’s perspective - have you seen the super tiny half sized flex Y galleys on the A321 neo? Ridiculously cramped for three crews to deliver full service with half the space they get. Even BA struggles to get sh*t done in Y on the A321N and they only do water + crisps on top of BoB lol.

I recently flew on the A321neo from HKG-MNL, they only do boxed meals on those, since i heard they need to double cater from HKG and there some space issues. (Separately both TPE and MNL flights have meal service now except those on 321s) I went down after J meal service to look at the cabin and to take a few photos of the sharkklet...the crew were just in the galley chatting the whole time and it seems very crowded. Plus the 3 lavatories are located at the back so it got more crowded when we were about to land.

They had the right aircraft but not the right cabin. To have more seats, they removed the toilet in the middle of the aircraft, which makes 3 toilets and half galley at the end.

I recently fle to HKT and back. I really like the 32Q with decent seats and superb entertainment system.
Flying in Y first row both ways, we had a decent hot meal. Nothing downgraded.
There are 3 toilets at the back and 1 at the front. I am not aware of any airline flying 32Q with more than 4 toilets. All have 4 (DL, KE, BA, EY,.) or even 3 (AF).

I just flew MNL-HKG in Y, and it was a hot meal since it was the A330. Interesting that there is no beverage service other than the bottle of water on the tray. I asked if I could have a glass of wine, and they brought it to me with regular top-ups. Not sure if that's because I am Emerald or are all drinks on request in Y on short-haul flights? Im flying on an A321 from HKG-Hanoi next week in Y, and wondering if it will be boxed meal (is it cold or is there a hot dish)? Will try to request wine on that flight and see what happens. I was surprised there was no choice in Y for the meal though from MNL (only option is pork fried rice).
