Saying that "I don't think CX regional J is worth the cost" is not exactly the same as what you said earlier, which is "CX ORBC is no better than the SQ Y seat", isn't it? I wouldn't pay cash for CX regional J either, but at the same time it's ridiculous to claim that the two seats are the "same".

Anyway u get more width and pitch in obrc and you can read a newspaper.l arm rest leg rest and foot rest. Better recline. Better wings
Better catering
Actually obrc is excellent as an armchair. Travelled in one from JFK-hKG before!
Everything is better except the iFE which I don't care as I BYO.

If you want to play the line that you consider ORBC to be a worse seat than SQ Y, that is your prerogative.

Every other sensible poster reading the post would know that ORBC > SQ Y without needing my explanation, and accordingly I'm afraid I simply don't have the time to waste on this.

As fast as I concern CX ORBC only win on seat width and pitch.
The IFE is not even AVOD and the remote control is on the arm rest and non removeable. TV screen is so small, even SQ economy screen has bigger and nicer resolution screen.
Not sure about the recline.
Not to mention the condition of the aircraft. I have been in the aircraft that the drinking tray was stuck and need some force to pull it out. Not to mention some crack on the remote on the arm rest. The condition is really pathetic considering this is CX which suppose to be one of the best airlines in the world.
My impression 772 is the worst among all.
My friend who is not so frequent traveller just flew on C on sin-hkg. One word from him... sucks!!

But like I said CX ORBC is like flying in 90s, something that you do not expect to see on the airlines which suppose to be one of the best in the world.

I disagree with your statement. But I respect your view. I guess may be difference expectation and priority.

I do not know what he is comparing to. As I mentioned as far as I know, he does not travel much and I think this is his first time every flying in C (I may be wromg). I guess it is just simple expectation as I mentioned above. to me if even in econ you have AVOD etc, you epect more while you are ling in C. The ORBC is like flying in the 90s!!!

Ugh, just found out by accident that my CX690 next week has been downgraded from 77W F to regional 333 J. The fare difference for a one-way SIN-HKG is SGD800, but this is a revenue ticket as part of a complex itinerary that I can't reprice now. What sort of downgrade compensation should I expect?
There is another flight with F three hours later but my schedule is inflexible.

Is CX cutting back frequency between HKG and SIN?
CX690 is not operating on Thu now.
Likewise CX650 is x3 and CX636 is x25
I thought they used to be all daily flight, at least for CX690
