-8's are almost a certainty. BA will be flying 380's to HK very soon. CX can't compete with 777's
Why can't CX compete with a different aircraft type? Seat costs will not be all that different. The 77W carried far more freight and unless BA has large suites in a first class++ config, it doesn't matter too much to the individual passenger what plane they are in...its not like they are going to be using the on-board jacuzzi, bowling alley or running track very much. With 4 flights a day to choose from vs BA's two, I think CX will do just fine. Granted however that there will be some non-frequent travellers who fly the 380 for the experience once or twice.
P.s. 70s porn is crap.
