It is the last day in KL, I took CX724 back to HKG. However, the flight had
been changed to the A330 which is not include first class. The plane is B-HLM,
it just 5.5 years when I took.

The meal I was chosen, the fish with potatoes. It was a tasty meal,
it nice to have cream sauce in this entree. The bread and salad it
taste normal.

okay.

  • Thank you for sharing this nostalgic FR with us!

    It's really interesting to see how CX's cabin product has evolved over the years!

    Have a good one, see you!

    • Yes, it seldom see the CX's old cabin in here.

      It look really nice in that period, but looks no so good now.

      Hope CX can hurry up and improve it.

  • Wow, a retro FR - I love it!

    Its pretty hard to imagine a cabin like the one you had today - pretty epic!

    Food looks decent too. I haven't had very good experiences on Cathay, but that's just me I guess....

    • Yes which is the retro FR.

      It is pretty nice take CX in 2000's.

      The meal was fine and you will enjoy the flight.

      However, they cut cost now. I would not take CX with regional flight.

      There long haul flight it just so so now, it just better than UA.

  • Great vintage report (the IFE remote control is sooo 20th century !)

    Thanks for sharing !
