i have flown CX when it served MAN, but then after the service was dropped.. i went via FRA, AMS, DXB, and LHR.
I am due to fly to hkg in nov and its only taking me under 15hrs including transit time in cdg.
I remember last winter when it was the cold snap in december
, there were two CX flights that were redirected to MAN cos of the closure of LHR bound for hkg. surely manchester would be able to cope with the CX 744's again or even a 773 if they came back to MAN. There is a sizeable chinese community up north and by coming back, it saves the hassle of going via LHR.
i thought a while ago there were talks of man-zur-hkg, what happened to that?
