CX extends Premium Economy to regional routes

[Happy Trails]

Oh well, no more self-service mini-upgrades to the PE cabin.
It'll be interesting to see how they price these seats.

Personally IMO the CX hybrid PE cabin experience is underwhelming at best.
'Limbo Land" in more ways than one..
FA on CX constantly flipping & walk thru between J & Y cabins is annoying as well as sharing the pseudo vibe of the FF climbers & faux DYKWIA.... No thanks.
