Hi Everyone,
Those who may or may not know, I recently took a trip to India in mid November and returned on Sunday morning. I am well aware this is an SQ forum, but I am sure many posters have had the opportunity to put a TR of different airlines, even if it's the rival of SQ or a non-Star Alliance carrier.
This trip, I actually had the opportunity to take Cathay Pacific, because the price was $1000 less than SQ and plus I haven't had the opportunity to fly them for 9 years, last time being when CX operated 744's twice daily to SFO - I used to take the night flight of CX873 from SFO, and came back by the late afternoon flight out of HKG, CX872, which at that time was spaced just 2 hours apart. The timings were just convenient for connecting to and from Indian flights.
My father actually flew this airline in Summer 2017 when there was a death in the family, and at that time, he got the 9-across 77W (AKA 77G, which is a 3-class aircraft with Business, Premium Economy, and Economy Class). Well, unfortunately many of you know that CX is retrofitting its 77W to have 10-across seating, which I had ridden on my SFO flights. More thoughts of it will occur when a part of my TR is finished.
On this trip, I did NOT visit Delhi, but actually took a local flight to Varanasi as my parents had to do some religious rituals during the trip. I visited Allahabad for one portion of a day, then flew over to Trivandrum, and spent the last 3 days in Chennai before heading back on Cathay Pacific.
The TR will come shortly. Thanks for your patience.
