Isn't the refurbished B A first and business class considered one of the finest? The rendered pictures looked very elegant
That should clearly tell you that CX>>>>>>>BA |

the CX business seat and the BA first seat are not that different! And the CX product is 4 years old.
That should clearly tell you that CX>>>>>>>BA Based on all this why are you saying CX is much better than BA?:confused: |

Don't quite get what you're trying to say here... I guess you mean BA's business class is not that different from that of Cathay? And are you trying to say that the CX product is aging
Based on all this why are you saying CX is much better than BA?:confused: The CX J seat is 4 years old, but not far off the newer BA F seat. CX is superior to the BA J offering in my opinion. This is due to the seat mainly. |
aireuropa0657 Mate you must be having a laugh here... The CX Cirrus seat is widely considered as one of the best J product in the market
Plus I personally really don't like the idea of a rear facing seat as in BA's CW, it feels extremely awkward during take off |
sorry guys if I sounded like a massive idiot... have not been fortunate enough to do many business class trips, so not really up to date in this field.
thanks for all the info! |

Soory for the late reply calchas! I imagine facing backwards on a plane would be quite an experience!

No Ba Business was groundbreaking 15 years ago when it was first introduced. I still like it to be honest, and I like the novelty of flying backwards. However comparing BA First with anything other than other carriers business is a lesson in embarrassment. Even the U.S. Carriers have surpassed it now, but try comparing something like CX, EK, SQ Firsts with BA and you'll find no comparison at all. Here's a BA First class trip report http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...lth-class.html |
Great TR, some great pics too, that cockpit looks impressive ✈️

I can't imagine an airline with a record of adding destinations at a slow cautious pace would suddenly change their business plan and cater it towards low yield students... this route is also for more O and D space on the LHR flights as CX can't expand there... LHR was at 99% load factor in August- aka CX was turning potential customers away |

LHR was at 99% load factor in August- aka CX was turning potential customers away As for the students—I have seen them regularly for a while on the BA shuttle to/from LBA at the term start and finish, and I don't think they are low yielding. Educating wealthy foreigners is big business in the UK. From the conversations I've had quite a few I see are connecting onto CX business class. But this is anecdotal and I may be mistaken in drawing a conclusion. My curiosity is merely whether traffic will be drawn away form LBA to MAN if there is a direct service to HKG. |
