which flight gets 77P A359/A35K 77A 77K 77J to MNL is it 903/902 913/974 919/918 901/930 939/912 and 906/907 from HKG? My guess for the A333 it's CX906/907 to MNL. Regarding CX903/902 it's equipment if on B77W A359/A35K once it gets back to HKG as CX902 it must be ready for 844 to JFK 270 to AMS from HKG.

It used to be that MNL received all sorts of CX aircraft regularly from the 744 to the A35K. It was just luck of the draw which of them you would step into. Now those days are long behind where it is the 773, A330, or occasionally the A32Q that would serve.

You can’t take MH? Two flights/day.

Anyone knows what's happening with CX's schedule in Oct for KUL. Seems to have reduced one flight on some days - the usual CX724 that I take isn't operating on 13 Oct. Now having to resort to UO from SZB.

I'm unsure the risk, others will know better. Sometimes it's a virtual lock there will no swap unless extreme circumstances, other routes are more common.

Just fyi your quote isn't right from CX's perspective. On regional routes, CX sees themselves as selling you 1.) a specific flight at a specific time and 2.) a J seat with J service irrespctive if that's long-haul J or regional J hard product on regional routes. You're not going to get a refund or something if the plane swaps.

On regional routes, they don't see themselves as owing you the seat-type. That's just how it has been as long as I've flown CX, which is nearly two decades. We consider ourselves lucky now, because CX used to pull aircraft swaps on ME routes like DXB and even Australia way back in the day, 7-9 hour flight lengths. Fortunately those days are behind us for 10-15+ years. That was also when CX didn't have enough long-haul configged A333 birds. CX takes a similar approach with new products. They had a few product innovations that were a huge gap, the first was "old old old (slanty bed) J" to "old old (Olympus) J", a conversion that took place around 2007-2009. This was a non-flat bed to lie-flat, and of course was for long-haul flights. The second was old F to current F in the 2007-2010 timeframe (basically, although current F has been refreshed same "bones" still). Old F was a flat bed but new F was just so much bigger, more spacious, and private. Once you had the new one it felt like a huge downgrade to go back. That was truly a lottery until the whole fleet of 747s were reconfigured.

Besides the two regional F routes (HND and PEK) just once a day, the shortest destinations to truly guarantee yourself long-haul J are most of the India routes and CMB. KIX is unfortuately in the "regional J acceptable" umbrella.

I was looking into TPE-HKG flights for November 2026, and understand the winter schedule change around the end of October, as discussed in this thread.
It seems odd that before Oct 25 there are 11 flights available throughout the day, but just 3 evening-only flights from Oct 25 onward.

Is it the case that the daytime flights will appear eventually (perhaps as late as next summer)?
If so, why do those three evening flights appear available at all?
Just curious.

Thanks.

No flights loaded to / from CSX after 27/03/2026, have they given up on this route already?
