You will most probably qualify for the fare requirement of miles thru cx, as even if they post their lowest standard fares it's just less than 200 cheaper than H (exclude special offers). Not to mention HK has the best airport to spend a few hours, and cathay lounge really stand out of the crowd. I'm flying ORD-HKG next week. I don't dare to try any American trans-pacific anymore, even in business. I was in business in March from HKG-SFO, and when I'm hungry, the flight attendant told me there's only 2 meals and they don't serve any food in between. Complete waste of money. Even cathay coach serve hot snacks and noodles. |

What are you talking about? AA does NOT fly HKG-SFO. Are you talking about UA?
I do find the lack of snack strange however, a friend recently brought me the menu shanghai-San fran on UA and they had a mid-flight snack service... |

I think they were talking abut any American airline (generic) rather than American airlines (AA).
I do find the lack of snack strange however, a friend recently brought me the menu shanghai-San fran on UA and they had a mid-flight snack service... I dont know about CX Y, but in CX J and F, the snacks are NOT a meal service. If you want to have snacks you ring the FA. We just returned from a trip to HKG, AA award CX flights J outbound ORD-HKG, F inbound HKG-YYZ. We did not order any snacks on both directions - the dinner meal was plenty enough that we did not feel any need to eat until the 2nd meal service time. The snack items offered on both J and F are identical: 3 kinds of sandwiches, 2 types of Chinese noodle, 1 hot pot rice with preserved meat and veggie. I forgot whether it had soup to go with it or not. I intended to try the noodle or the hot pot rice but had no appetite and did not do it at the end. |
