So true. Flew CX in international business class (paid ticket) a few months back on a Triple. The food was awful, worse than US domestic coach. The HK lounge was ratty and dirty. I'm amazed that CX still has any loyal business customers.
They have fallen a long way since the '80s, when I rode them frequently as a precocious teen living abroad...
