I think you mean six-abreast, rather than two-abreast, in the context of the current A330 J seat. 

HSBC is planning to launch this in other markets too. Any indication of where the next one will be? (Hoping it's Hong Kong!)

The Cathay cards in Hong Kong are great in concept, but pretty poor if you already have status. The points earning rate is pretty dire, and is beaten by other cards.The benefits are pretty poor for existing DMs. Not sure how the free J-class lounge passes are benefiting me when DM give me access ...

Rather frustrating that Cathay can make clear that the rumored lifetime status isn't returning, but give no clarity on the proclaimed new ways of earning status points, or any of the other major changes to the program.So far, it's just a new name and a few minor changes.
