Another trip report. CX in F is wonderful when it works, but the reality of life is that it doesn't work ALL the time. I did 4 long hauls in F (LAX-HKG-JNB) and 2 regional (HKG-SIN) in J. 4 of the flights ranged from very good to outstanding but 2 were disappointing for variety of reasons. Anyway, CX is still one of the best ways to see the world. The CX HKG lounges are above anything I've ever had a chance to experience at any airport.
Have a great trip!

OK, I just wanted to clarify some things because obviously Chuck1's travels is not as extensive as mine, and his flights with CX FIRST CLASS less than mine.

Don't worry about these lame comments. Some people on this board just couldn't resist the temptation of showing off at every opportunity they can!
"obviously Chuck1's travels is not as extensive as mine, and his flights with CX FIRST CLASS less than mine"
Also Where can you get a 19,000HKG return F Class ticket? I am really interested to know!!
