Rego CX101 8th November

[Ryan N]

Anyone know the rego for CX101 that departed HKG on Saturday night? I was on this flight and it had the new interior, with the very UNcomfortable seats.

Thanks Grahame. Would you know if this is a new aircraft? I could only locate 1 photo in Airliners.net.

B-LAI is very new delivered on 27.10.08

No wonder the seats looked very clean and shiny, except for a small scratch near my monitor.

Also, the IFE wasn't working for the first 2 hours of the flight and the seats were incredibly uncomfortable.
