Congratulations, StarG!

How abt a lounge meeting at the Pier/Wing? I need to be invited to get access right now

Unlike the SIN SKL's, CX are generous in allowing access to those with OW status.

FRTW = fire retardent treated wood ... really!

LMAO.....Sounds affordable too!

I knew I should have asked you for ideas before I posted!


What is the deal with some of our most loyal J and F pax suddenly going for the cattle car.......and on Traitor Air no less? Just a gentle remidner, this is SQ talk is it not? Sheesh....where are the mods when we need them?

On board the A333, the IFE is as what you described.

I experienced this both on B-HLC (A333) and B-HOW (B744).

It was annoying.

Let's just call it unrequited love from the goose.

Well, from the sound of things around here it seems the "goose is cooked".

Well in this case, what's not good for the goose, is good for the Green Gander......

Brave StarG
And I am still a Green over at MPC...hopefully will make lowly Silver this year to enjoy my first experience at the Wing/Pier.

I thought I read somewhere here that you went to Australia on CX J?
You didn't go to the lounge at that time?

[StarG]

This serves as a warning to SQ that if they continue to disappoint loyal customers, they might defect to their possibly strongest competitor

Nah... I honestly think SQ does not care. It is about "SHOW US THE MONEY!" now. Flying CX Y to LAX and back is nothing. Even if I prove my defection by flying CX F to LAX several times a year (price of CX F is not much different than SQ C). They will perhaps think - oh well, just one lousy PPS gone, we've still got plenty of juicy business travellers to boost our earnings this quarter.

Only newer CX aircraft has the handset IFE controller. The rest are those stuck on the armrest.

[StarG]

I miss CX F.

My first CX F experience

Or in other cases - the Red Rat...

StarG, it really depends on how many loyal PPS will do this.
I agree that there is still plenty of business (non loyal) traveller but you know.... loyalty est impayable . it's risky to build your entire business without a safe number of loyal customers.

NOOOOOOOO!!! I got it upgraded only at the last minute at the gate (even though I had 4 hrs transit time, coming from SIN). I was fighting to get a lounge access...but those Traitor Air's agents were insistent

[SQFAN]

Or in other cases - the Red Rat...

If it is what I am thinking it is, it one hell of a huge rat.
