Maybe if Oasis comes to us makets as stated, CX will offer I fares to North America again.

Just received the following email from Oasis:
I guess they're looking to fill those seats any way they can ahead of the launch date - certainly should assist in keeping all fares lower on the HKG-London route anyway!
To celebrate the launch of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines on 25th October, we are offering ALL seats from Hong Kong to London at our lowest year round price - just $1000* one-way in economy and $6600* one-way in business.
That's right, ALL available seats on all flights between 25 October and 30 November are offered at these incredible low fares if you book by 15 October.

HK$2000 is pretty good to LHR (even if it is Gatwick)...
But when I tried looking this morning -- couldn't snag any of the $1000 return seats -- could only get one for $1500. Now, HK$2500 is a well... like another poster said pretty close to Qantas's offering. And if you can't get both -- well it is $3000 which makes the QF points + LHR just a bit more attractive in my mind.
So I think only worth it when you can get the super cheap seats....
I think the assault really is for business class... getting 2 * $6600 => $13200... how would that compare to a WT+ seat? only a little bit more pricey but much better?

Fuel Surchange
As the cost of Aviation Fuel is now LESS then when OASIS started operations, how can they call it and justify a Fuel Surcharge ?
