Extra CX flights for Perth

[Scott Loveday]

Apparently due to increased demand for business travel to/from China...

Daily (as is current)
CX171 15:05/22:45
CX170 00:05/07:45

These flights have been EQV, but will be going to permanent A330-300 with the new long haul product.

CX137 22:55/06:35 (Tu, Thu, Sat)
CX136 07:55/15:35 (Wed, Fri, Sun)

These flights are listed as EQV at this stage.
