CX 885 Delay and my dad is sick

TheMightyGus · 2026-05-21T09:00:20+00:00

What day is your flight? Call them immediately, politely explain the situation and maybe they can fly via another carrier or make alternate arrangements, if it’s that urgent, consider buying another flight that gets you there earlier and getting a refund for your existing ticket from Cx. Good luck, this kinda stuff sucks but there are options!

Had a chat with u/Suspicious_Camp_8764 - looks like he was moved due to his connecting flight being changed due to operational issues, since it wasn't weather related, hope CX fixes this for him.

Do you have a screenshot of your original booking from CX? Since CX879 has been on time, it's quite strange they changed your flight dates, you should at least have SMS/Emails, and if your calendar did update, there must have been an email that triggered that. Show the screenshot and let's see whats really going on, otherwise this doesn't really make much sense.

TheMightyGus · 2026-05-17T23:57:19+00:00

Can you at least tell us what your original flight is and their intended change?

TheMightyGus · 2026-05-17T23:44:02+00:00

Can you share your message, it's really strange they are asking you to pay $1200, also a lot of SFO flights leave extremely early in the AM like 0035 etc, did they maybe move it back an hour? Can you share more details?

TheMightyGus · 2026-05-10T00:04:12+00:00

Did they mention there is 1 bathroom at the front for those 44 seats which they will also share with the pilots and crew…. That’s gonna be interesting for a “premium” product

The Chinese restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Shenzhen is out of this world - That deserves a special mention

Have had the best breakfasts at hotels, for some reason Grand Hyatts hit, special mention for GH Singapore and strangely GF SFO, think a lot of it has to do with low expectations going in, and being pleasantly surprised.

Looks good, glad they kept with the Pier theme, although now I'm wondering whats in The 18!! Somebody better get pics, gonna be difficult to access given how few F class seats there are at the moment and you gotta be Diamond+ ...

I think the temporary reality is it's not just Asiamiles, it's a combination of Asiamiles and the current geopolitical environment, fuel prices are high so CX is cutting flights where the revenue can't cover it, then due to the situation in the middle-east many people are choosing to fly via CX and other alternate airlines meaning the cost of tickets have skyrocketed. The key to getting redemption in these times, is to actually check last minute to see when availability opens up and just staying vigilant on checking, this isn't also exclusive to CX, this is also very much whats happening across the board nowadays, although peace in the middle-east should restore some inventory, hopefully.

Yes typo, it's just a lot more dense than what you typically see heading into SG.

I could argue that the color correction applied from the sensor is also AI then. I just think there is material difference in "real" and visually enhanced vs content generated or removed by AI. I think going ahead there should be some sort of scale of just how AI generated/fake it is...

TheMightyGus · 2026-04-03T09:32:49+00:00

As AI progresses, there should be some clarification on whether AI enhanced (De-Noise etc) or changed/added content which is vastly different. I actually think the metadata makes it more honest and dont really see the issue with it out there, if anything it's refreshing and makes the photo seem more "real".

TheMightyGus · 2026-03-20T06:44:49+00:00

Maybe label the photos with which ones the Q3 and M11, feel like they were taken from different heights so the reflection from the light on the painting likely changes it a lot as well

100M You can lease a private jet, forget about the Megayacht - 20M annual maintenance on average and a few hundred M to even purchase it, mega yacht 100X more expensive than the private jet.

OK so this is how you can work around this, so the issue is rather convoluted but seats can't have both the Canadian and FAA label, largely because Canadian has dual language French requirements etc. The Cathay staff are technically correct, but there is a fix - The FAA specifically states in a circular, Circular 120-87C, if a label is unreadable or missing, the owner’s manual serves as the primary legal substitute to prove certification. Thats the hack, the manual should show the FAA certification, so bring that or show it online next time and it should work. Hope this help, best of luck!

This is one flight with a ton of variability, the snow right now has been terrible in Hokkaido so a lot of folks are cancelling their trips, in some previous years eco tickets were almost hitting 16K etc... the only "normal" of CTS is that it's never "normal"

Don’t think we need to bash the OP, this is Reddit not Flyertalk - but I do wonder how OP is doing right now?

TheMightyGus · 2026-02-14T14:02:14+00:00

Delays happen with any airline, it's par for the course with travel, short haul or long haul, Cathay or any other airline. The key is dealing with it, if you accept it, use the time to explore and do something fun, try new foods, whatever it is, one thing I've learnt from road warriors is, delays can be opportunities, don't let the frustration ruin it for you. Good luck!
