From HKG I arrange the hermolis Lamb Stir Fry every time.


That's standard I think.

That's incorrect on board it's standard to NY
Could be other routes from hkg have other meals since
In the lounge it's not guaranteed they originally had fish for my meal in the lounge then chicken another time.

Luckily only got served lamb after my special dietary needs.

Traveling from NY to MNL first class, I have options with JAL, ANA, Korean Air, Asiana, Cathay Pacific and Philippine Air. What are the pros and cons of each? I was on CX (Cathay) last time and was not impressed.

Whatever you do,  stay away from PR.   I used to fly them constantly and they're generally late and disorganized.  At least now they got their operating certification back in the US and can fly their 777's instead of the decrepit 747's they were forced to operate.

We were a party of 3, and KE limited the number of points seats in first class to 2 seats per flight. Is this specific to KE, or do other airlines have such a restriction?

Call a in advance for them to warm up unless you have a very long layover.

I just called 852 2747 7972 (wing) and requested a meal for next week. Couldn't reach the pier.

Should be able to ask Wing to send a request to Pier if you can't reach them directly.

Couldn't get the lamb, though. They told me a few times it's fish or chicken. Which should I choose?

If I recall I needed to give them 48 hours but they did it quicker as well


I usually do it when I land in hk inbound Cathay I let them know at the wing my departure info and needs

I also have some friends that work in the lounge & Cathay higher ups.
I'll send you some limited info.

But wanna check out Pier for sure.
I agree you should maybe just check out the pier
Maybe for a foot massage
But I don't think it tops the wings location and cabanas
