HK Airlines was founded by the ex-Dragon Air team (after Dragon Air was sold to CX 9-10 years ago. It once launched an all-business class service from HKG-Gatwick but unfortunately the majority still go to CX for long haul business class, regardless of its fare down to HK$15k (vs HK$50k of CX) on the HKG-London flights.
To me, the seat would rather be my concern than the service and yet CX is really going down for their food and services. Why not give it a try for HK Airlines, especially its business class on some routes is much cheaper than CX, and even a few hundred cheaper than CX y class. In taking this route, CX is selling HK$7k for y class, but HK Airlines offers HK$6.5k something.
The seat is quite similar to those of EK with one on one with every seat accessible to the aisle. HK Airlines offers a much more comfy quilt even for shorter flight routes, and a sandal. Service-wise, the crew isn't bad though the captains seem to be a bit not so tidy and neat (hair and uniform). However, the stewardees made that up. The meal is at average but quite a small portion. You may need to ask for more bread. Overall, in terms of price, it's worth trying.
