I wonder how CX got those two extra morning prime-time slots at LHR. I bet BAA must be making a one-time exception. Also does anyone know of the return flight (the two extra flights) from LHR to HKG?

...and to attract them to buy CX tickets, instead of BA/VS/NZ/QF or AC or other non-direct options ?

On CX web page regarding the extra flights for Oasis passengers, they ask passengers to proceed to CX check-in counters in Aisle D of Terminal 1 at Hong Kong International Airport. Are there any CX counters there?

I actually don't expect CX to raise the price / stop the promotion of LHR/YVR routes too soon...imagine how bad PR it would be if newspapers find out and say "CX raised YVR price from 22k to 39k, a 80% increase, right after O8 went out of business" etc - they for sure don't want to be seen like ripping off passengers because of lack of competition. If I were them I'd rather keep the price for now, grab the passengers who need to rebook urgently with these low fares (instead of having them go to BA/VS/NZ/QF/AC/etc), and then over time raise the price back to the high level, but gradually...

I just bought one of their 747's on eBay. The Buy It Now price was too good to pass up - and didn't want to get sniped! 
Does anyone have a 747 simulator in their garage?
