When I flew to Xi'an from HK on KA I got a chance to go into the cockpit probably because:
1) both crews (cabin and flight) were bored on the 3-hr flight with no IFE except for newpapers and magazines;
2) both groups had finished their meals and had nothing to do

Pretty nice, the A320 cockpit is. I even got the chance to see a couple of planes cruising below us ^

Note: this was after CX had 'swallowed' up KA, and was the first KA flight eligible for Asia Miles.

KA flights have been eligible for earning Asia Miles ever since the beginning of the program many years ago.

Not trying to suggest anything, but u must be someone special. As I understand both KA and CX ahve really strict protocols of not allowing pax into the cockpit during the flight. On the ground = maybe, but definitely not in the air.

Hmm, I think I meant Club Miles, since I flew 1 Jan 07.

EDIT: I was in Business Class, so i think that might have helped a bit.
