Just did a Melbourne to Taiwan (via Hong Kong) return trip, all on Cathay Pacific.
I am Qantas Platinum but booked direct with Cathay, all in discount economy.
On the four legs I was upgraded from Economy to Premium Economy twice.
On each flight I was personally greeted by the CSM.
Because I prebooked bulk head seats, on the two economy flights I had huge amount of leg room (their bulkhead seats on the A330 have enormous space).
Overall I found the service excellent.
Sure I got less FF points but while the SC are the same, its worth it. Sad to think after June I will have to think twice about this choice....
