I see I've had the same vegetarian penne pasta HKG-SIN! Yes mine tasted better than it looked too.

Passengers occupied with their IFE choices.




Flying into bad weather while nearing Singapore.




Starting descent into Singapore. Headsets collected, cabin prepared and Studio CX switched off around 20min before landing. With more airlines (including SQ currently on-trial) offering gate-to-gate IFE, I guess it will be soon that CX pax also "demands" similar "treatment". Well at least CX does not switch off its IFE as early as SQ used to.




Left with flight map and belly camera. Nearing home.




Into Malaysia.




Flaps out and over Batam.




Final approach, with the Singapore evening city skyline in the distance.








Touchdown on Rwy02L slightly ahead of schedule.

Thank you again for flying CX!




Taxied to Terminal One and parked beside a Air Niugini B767.




Disembarking.




Again, a pleasant regional flight on CX, though service is slightly more robotic on this flight, but comparable to a normal SQ flight. IFE is very user-friendly and selection is good enough. However the new Economy seats are definitely a winner, offering much more comfort than most of the other Economy seats I have tried till now. Overall a much recommended and value for money airline.

Not sure if it's a coincidence or lack of creativity but fish and rice was one of the options back in 2008

That is why SQ trumps other airlines but if you see the flight as a procedural event to getting your face stuff with the glorious food in HKG, then no airline food will be worth the comparison

Good and detailed TR, with awesome pictures. Thanks for the great effort ycp81!

Nice TR ycp81! CX seems to have become one of the best Y class cabin carriers now, rivaled only be EK, SQ and AI 788.

In Y, CX is just average or above average - esp if you have no status, IMHO

EK with 10-across 777s and AI with 9-across 788s are far from rivalling SQ or CX.

I like especially the place they install the power point. Is really easy to access.
