Wheezy Child,
1. The newest destination/route is Shanghai from December last 2006. Type in "Shanghai" under the CX press room search page to find the article.
2. Taipei, A330's and B777's every hour... from memory (I think)
3. Yes, 16 hours 20mins as per Discovery magazine. It is longer on the return leg due to the headwinds experienced.
