URC has not been loaded, either. I guess CX just hasn't made the decision on their summer schedule for new destinations launched last year.

I am sure they will adjust the timings accordingly. With that said, I am surprised the resumption is a red-eye out of ICN, as opposed to the red-eye out of HKG (historically CX412, departing at around 1AM). Despite this probably being attributed to fleet management, I recall they used to have a red-eye out of ICN many years back, but it didn't last very long.

I also wonder if CX still has any plan to resume TPE-ICN.

They were still loading Oz flights for May a week or so ago.

I always wonder how CX expects to fill up their planes when seats only come up for sale like a month before.

I guess the yield shd be pretty poor now with much LCC capacity…and CX likely to use 773 on this route

I always seem to miss out on those empty CX longhaul flights you seem to know of. Could you tell me where I can find them because somehow my flights are always packed.

Was on the flight from HK to Changsha today, i guess there are no more than 60 passengers. I guess the last time i was on such an empty flight was UO's Hualien flight, which got only 40 pax, and the route is axed already.

Yea I'd love to know too since my recent long-haul flights with them to/from LHR, BRU, MUC have all been packed.

To be fair, CNS and CHC have both been about half full in J the twice I have done each of them.

But yes, I havn't seen any empty seats on any North America or Europe flight since COVID.

I am a regular in the BRU-HKG and can confirm it is always full, which gives me a lot of joy since this could be a good signal that CX will maintain the destination, at least four times a week like now.

I'm also waiting for their summer URC schedule, wishing they would do it daily.

LHR is more season-dependent I guess, depending on the wave of students. 256 was only half full in J and W, and around 80% full in Y when I flew it a few days before Christmas. Only one person boarded as Group 1 during boarding.

Only less than two months to go and still nothing loaded. Pretty ominous?
