其實我覺得咁長途既航線每日開幾班真係幾勁 ..
不過可能佢開親都只係大航點，開多 D 比人轉機都唔奇（換句話說要 CX 開長途二線航點亦唔容易 ）

開多d好，成日又話無位又話爆，但freighter又成日reroute...

睇黎國泰真係想增加現有航點既服務先,

其實仲有好多算係一線(如:亞特蘭大/休士頓/達拉斯/華盛頓)呢D都係真空~
國泰同美國既航空公司都好似冇乜意慾去開...

不過國泰現有美加航線既航班係亞洲大城市黎講算最多, 我諗得東京有得撼...

美國南部城市可能 B777-300ER 航程未必夠,
要等到 A350-1000 交貨之後先可以諗 ~

至於二線城市方面, 我個人認為一樣都要等到 A350-900 交貨之後先有得考慮開,
始終 B777-300ER 對二城城市黎講又真係稍為大架左小小 ~

國泰由此至終就係想透過頻密 o既班次去令到轉機客黎香港轉機,
實情而家國泰北美航線真係有唔小轉機客 ~

畢竟大航線長遠都有日會飽和,
加上東南亞,大中華地區開始發展既時候, 成都<>三藩市呢類直航可能愈開愈多~
或者更長距離既航班可以令到佢做到直航 (eg.787)
而香港/其他地方去2線城市果D又可能會走哂去東京/首爾呢D地方轉機!!

雖然可能係比較長遠既事,
但係 成都<>三藩市, 成田<>丹佛呢D航線相繼出現既時候, 轉機客有機會會流失...

對於大陸市場都可能係,
但係國泰做轉機生意係做到去東南亞及印度地區,
起呢 D Ultra-long haul 上面, B787 都未必做到咁長程 ~

就算講傳統航空公司黎講,
Ultra-long haul non-stop 都未必真係做得住,
當中新加坡航空 SQ21/22 (SIN - EWR) 同埋 SQ37/38 (SIN - LAX) 已經可以見到,
呢兩 pair 線就快要摺 ~

呢2條線好似係因為距離太長, 本身成本高A345耗油量大加上要減少座位增加飛行距離?
新加坡同美國距離實在太遠, 只係而家都冇乜適合既機做直航又做到經濟效益

以而家呢個時候黎講,
除左 A340-500 之後未仲有 B777-200LR,
當然將來會有 A350-900R ~

老實講, 當 SQ 將佢地 5 架 A340-500 都 byebye 埋之後,
主流航空公司仲有用 A340-500 都唔係得返好多間 (其中一間會係 EK)

A340-500 都算係近代機種最短命 o既表表者 ~

I'm a resident in the Greater Boston area
From what I know is that international students tend to choose CX rather than american airlines (not only AA, but united, etc)
and those students are the ones that go back to HK very frequently (3-4times/year)

Moreover, there is a fast growing number of south China immigrants (mostly from 台山/廣東) coming to Boston area, and a lot of them choose CX also.
I recently flew CX831 from boston and the passengers onboard were mostly from the Mainland China rather than HK.

So in conclusion, I think there is a demand for more direct flights from the North East area.

其實一年返三四次的話, 佢地有機會係買左國泰個 set 留學生套票,
呢 set package 詳情你可以問下國泰 Customer Service 或者去佢地個網到 ~

至於另外一點就係,
以北美東北部飛香港黎講除 CX 之外就得 UA 有直航,
但係 CX 個時間上就 flexible 好多,
仲有 CX 本身自己個 Asia Miles 真係做得唔錯,
同埋通常一年返去三四次, 我諗都應該最小拎住 Macro-Polo Green Card 了 ~

yea, those people are members of Macro-Polo club and they get to fly business class very often
I hope CX opens a route to BOS I really don't see the reason of picking EWR over BOS
Since we have a lot more international students here and EWR is not that far from JFK (even though it takes forever to get to JFK from NJ)
But as the mayor of Boston said, there is a demand for direct flights from/to Asia, especially there are many luxury apartments under construction in Chinatown/Downtown BOS area

要知道 NYC 一向都係 Business Demand 強勁,
呢一點已經好緊要 ~

BOS 點睇都似一個 leisure destination 多,
雖然你都講到有大量豪華 apartment 落成,
但唔代表商務客多 ~

航空公司一向都係靠高端客戶搵錢,
一係就貨運,
經濟客艙真係可以話係微利而已 ~
