CX Seat selection

[clifford]

Well, yes.

However, I also have a booking in J BKK-HKG-MNL next month, and it's the newer regional config, 1-2-1. Will be interesting to see how that compares. I guess it's because they have more competition on these routes.

Perhaps I should've clarified that I was in J, and the the seats were 1-2-1 (very nice for regional). Beats Qantas hands down (especially the champagne served with a smile).

I'll be in PE later this year on a 777 so let's see how that compares. I note that people here seem to prefer PE on the 350, but from what I see, the seating is more cramped.

We have booked W class YVR-HKG-MEL bc it was 350 with updated seats and 9 inches of recline. Cx has now downgraded both sectors to 77K which means basically a Y class seat (6 inches of recline) with better food. We specifically booked with cx bc of the seat arrangement, but now we may as well be in Y. Not happy Jan….and cx basically saying dry my eyes.

I flew the 77K a couple months ago in premium and can guarantee you it’s NOT economy!

Economy is 3-4-3, and PEY is 2-4-2. Much wider given the a350 goes from 9 in Y to 8 in PEY.

The legroom in PEY ON THE 777 is sensational… huge in fact. We didn’t notice any issues with the recline… it was very generous, more than economy.

Never flown CX J before, reading that since 30th March this year, CX161 & CX162 are the new Aria suits (on the 777). However, looking at CX162 dep SYD anytime in Oct & Nov, they use the a350-900. Anyone know why and i assume this isnt the Aria product?

My CX162 in Sep is a 773.

Although next month another trip is currently A359 up and back on CX110 & CX101.

Hmm weird, you're right the 777 appears to not be possible to book in Oct & Nov.

Wondering if anyone knows of a method for obtaining free seat selection - ahead of the 48hr OLCI - on a CX Economy Light fare with no OW status? I think I know the answer, but happy for any suggestions or clever ideas. Cheers!
