Bonus points if they are in J using AM. :p

Can't remember when I paid for CX J, nor use anything but Cathay AM to get there.

CX's lone 77J rostered for CX520/521 NRT services in Dec?
So PEK & TPE are forgone?

Temp Answer: Yes.
CX will move 77J's destination every month till December as there's one aircraft equipped with Aria.
From the interview with Vivian Lo, Singapore might be the next destination after the second Aria is out. Or maybe January.

Thanks, was unaware that CX had announced this; I only found out when a colleague's NRT flight next month had an equipment swap to 77J

That will most probably be CX739/CX734 as currently its the only daily flight with 777, the rest mainly A350 (unless operational swap).

Wonder how can you check this, or how do you get notified? Is there any announcement from Cathay regarding the aircraft swap?

Yes, based on Sam's video, I believe she told that Singapore and Tokyo should be on December. Since, next year which is January she aim for "LHong Routes"

This is what I was thinking as well, but upon checking both flight in December still on 77K config.

Sheer coincidence, thus we turn to our beloved FT members who have the answers to literally everything CX (smirk!)

As announced at media event, most probably the second 77J will be ready for SIN route next month. LON route CX255/250 will get 77J in January 2025.

New Bamford amenity kits will start from January as well.

A350s are gonna get cabin refresh, projected to be ready 3 years later.

Also free WiFi for everyone just like a lot of other airlines nowadays. Surprised the a350s are getting updated this quickly..their product is very good

I hope CX will install Starlink at some point. The current Wi-Fi is pretty slow and unstable

When you say there is free Wifi for everyone, do you mean free wifi for everyone in all classes? Honestly I'm surprised if that is what you mean considering CX only extended free wifi to J guests earlier in the year, so I expected free wifi for everyone to come along much further down the line. I'm pleased to see this change, but they would need much better wifi (Starlink??!!) in order to provide decent internet speeds to everyone onboard.

Perhaps this is better for the wifi thread.

Nonetheless, they're looking to extend it to all passengers. While it is great in general, if the speed is dreadful, there's no point in doing so.

B-KQH is yet to return so I wonder the possibility of 1 month per plane program :confused:

B-KQH hasn't been in XMN for a month yet, I think it flew to XMN on the 16th of October, so still a week until it has been in XMN for a month. To add to that, the retrofit program might accelerate as time passes, so the next plane might be retrofitted more quickly.
