I know this isn't a Qantas enquiry, but I hope the respective admins will forgive me this one time - they are at least a OW member (and I'm flying them in lieu of Q!).
Does anyone have any advice on how I can determine the specific seating maps for flight bookings with CX prior to making the booking? I am assuming I'm not the first to have this query, given how vague their website is (insofar as it shows aircraft type but not the version). I am flying MEL > HKG > NRT or HND. It's driving me nuts.
Basically, I want to avoid the J regional product (having said that I know how notorious CX are with substitutions, I got up'd to a 747 from a regional 777 on my last flight with them). Seatguru is vague.
Am I going to have to resort to their call centre?
Another question, does anyone know with CX105 (HKG ADL MEL) whether the flight from ADL to MEL (second leg) is counted as a separate sector for status/points earn purposes, or whether the segment HKG>MEL would be counted instead? With QF, I know that if you do MEL LHR (via SIN or HKG) then it is counted as 1 leg, but if you stopover in SIN/HKG the legs are broken and you get a slightly larger points/credits earn.
EDIT: Ok, clearly there are better locations for this thread so moderators feel free to move it there!
