Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] "Selling point"

I've toned down the text here which doesn't seem completely credible. The original statement was that there is a pay-to-eat service, so this saves the company money, so their fares are 30-50% below other carriers. They can certainly find ways to save money (including pay-to-eat) but the elimination of free catering in itself is not going to produce anything like a 30-50% reduction in costs (catering costs are more like USD20 per passenger at most).

• • Right around that area they called their comfort excellent which I dont think is a neutral statement hence the npov marking. Antonio The stick inside the Hole Martin

Catering costs are no where near US$20 per passenger... try $3-4 per passenger... Oasis HK buy directly from Cathay Pacific (YVR & HKG) and British Airways (LGW).. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.132.12.80 (talk) 19:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rumours

There are also unconfirmed rumours of a possible purchase of some Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This doesn't belong in Wikipedia until the unconfirmed rumours become confirmed fact. Wsbhopkin 19:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Budget Long Haul?

Oasis are now frequently more expensive than their full fare competitors (a point that is made in the opening paragraph). I recently spoke to an Oasis pilot who told me that this is due to the airlines late entry into the market- they have not hedged their fuel to the extent of their competitors and so their costs are higher. Does anyone have any evidence of this so that itr can be incorporated into the main text? (8/4/08) Anansis (talk) 08:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

This article explained the lack of fuel hedging that you heard from the Oasis pilot. http://hk.news.yahoo.com/080409/318/2s3ct.html Schui (talk) 04:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
