Does CI give you some cabin wear for this sector ?

There's no pajamas in any CI First Cabin.

No pyjamas indeed but what a great flight I had.
Own lounge at NRT with F section and a la carte dining/snacks, on board real slippers, hot towels, real blanket, full flat seats, genuine smile and service.
Food quality was also tops.
Did not notice the drinks menu as it was a red eye but looking forward to my return HNL-NRT flight end of the week

Hopefully that's also the new 744 for your return segment.

No it was the old configuration and still very very comfortable

I have been told today a decision is close on scrapping F on CI and maybe going for a Y+ products starting in 2012

Flew CI F HNL-NRT last week and had a great flight

Check-in at HNL has 2 lines one for Y & one for C/F class with 2 counters reserved for F and C class passengers & Paragon members of CI

2 bags policy per pax strictly enforced even for F class although weight was very light, had to pay 32 USD per extra checked piece

Separate security lined for F/C pax

Lounge rather small with a separate F section with only 6 seats.
Allowed one guest with my F BP

Boarding F/C first then Y class per rows

Only 5 F pax for 14 seats in 3 rows
Seats recline full flat
Light meal after take off and full lunch (apetizer, entree, soup, slald, main dish, fruit, desert....wow really full course) before arrival in NRT
Very decent 'blue Nun' white rielsing and red DOCG Montepulciano wines

Very good value at less than 1.100 USD return NRT-HNL-NRT in F

Wow! How did you book it? Was this published fare?

JackR

Not a published fare it is in F class but non endorsable, non-reroutable, no date change, full refund only before departure less 300 USD charge
Through a Tokyo based travel agent

This deal looks like a fortune for the price it charged.
