Good tip, I am taking NRT-DXB via HKG in two weeks and the HKG-DXB leg is a 330.
Kampai, Klaxon :p |

Have only flown twice on the 330 in Y - both times row 30 which is the first row. But I also tried a seat in the back - only comparable legroom has been on Lion Air, Orient Thai and Ryanair. It was horrible.
But sometimes I have a problem with the bulkheads too - had a 744 on FRA-HKG that had the audio/video controls fitted so that seat width was severely restricted. The ex-SQ on HKG-BKK had the usual remote so it was much better. |

Fly SQ then. CX won't be missing your business.
F and J are where the money are, and CX at this point in time does not think that it is cost effective to install AVOD in economy. They might install AVOD in Y in a few years when they retrofit the new F & J cabins. Given that CX's economy class product is still miles ahead of most airlines, and that they have a satisfactory load factor, CX has nothing to worry about. |

LH does not even have PTV on its newest aircraft, or any of their aircraft for that matter (except the ex. Sabena ones). The reason - they are not making money in Y. Yields are extremely low. Similar to CX - but LH's situation is much worse, and they have taken it a step further.

In terms of services, I think QF is already ahead of CX at least on the LHR- HKG route, and the installation of AVOD would be another advantage of QF. |
