What the Flight Cancellation Debacle Means for Passengers by Nikki Sun

....But despite being the city’s only low-cost airline, HK Express faces increasingly fierce competition from regional budget rivals operating in Hong Kong, such as Singapore’s Tiger Airways, Japan’s Vanilla Air and China’s Spring Airlines. And the competition may soon get fiercer, with Hong Kong’s flagship carrier Cathay Pacific Airways considering joining the game by offering discount fares that could match those of low-cost operators.

Now I understand why my package needs to be slashed, why our cabin service is second-to-everyones and which happy-package-holidaymaker customers we are trying to be -centric to.

Sign me up, DFO.

Cathay Pacific web site has following fares today:

LAX - 2,550 HKD
ORD - 3,980
SIN - 1,450

I make that LAX fare about 12-13 USD per hour.

Already joined the LCC...

....that's almost cheaper than staff travel. Another great benefit we have...:rolleyes:
