    CX needs to constantly improve their service as competition from SQ, JL, NH is very strong.
    They cannot rest on their laurels.

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  Місяць тому

      I completely agree with you. They are going to refurbish their hard products on 777, however I believe they need to improve also their soft products.

    Awesome trip report. It seemed to be a great flight with CX. It's weird that this B777-300ER doesn't have air vents because most of them are equipped with air vents. However, I notice your table wasn't clean...

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for your comment!
      It was undoubtedly a pleasant flight, but I expected a little bit more from a 5 star ranked airline, compared to others at the same ranking.
      Regarding the air vents, also on my return flight operated by 777-300ER, I didn’t find them.
      I tried to clean the table but the stain didn’t go away.

    CX vs BA from London to HK, which do you prefer?

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  Місяць тому +3

      I’ve never flown on BA on long-haul, so I cannot tell you, but probably I would prefer CX.

    CX cabin services used to quite good and cabin crew used to be proud to work for the airline. Too bad the company used the pandemic as an excuse to not only cut jobs, but also cut wages and benefits massively. The entry hourly pay is insultingly low, even lower than the minimum wage in the UK. It’s poor management that leads to the decline of service quality.

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  Місяць тому

      I feel so sorry to read that. I actually noticed that the cabin service was not top notch as I expected from a 5 star airline. Most of the cabin crew were behaving a bit robotic and as if they wanted to complete the service as quickly as possible. I was aware that CX had to cut several jobs due to the pandemic, but I didn't know that the company also cut wages and benefits. For sure, this condition does not make you work with a natural smile for sure. I hope that the situation will improve soon.

      Hmm I have seen about 3 vlogs about Cathay in the last week. All very positive no complaints. Most recent was a fourteen hour between San Francisco and Hong Kong, economy class. I did notice during the pre flight announcement a " Happy New Year" was wished. Might have had some hung over or wishing with family crew.

    Heathrow has to be one of the most badly designed airports in the World.

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  Місяць тому +6

      The lack of space is the biggest problem, which doesn’t allow the airport to expand.
      T5 and T2 are the newest and well-designed terminals, however the connection between the terminals is still made with buses, which is not the most comfortable way to move.

    Boeing 777-300ER B-KQQ MSN 41762 (9.5 years) is old plane and Cathay charges you more than BA, no worth it.

    • @NikiSvaizer
      @NikiSvaizer  25 днів тому

      Cannot say that a less than 10 year old plane is old… BA has older planes in its fleet.
