In Transit

So anyways, here I am at Hong Kong International Airport. What's that I here you say? Wasn't I supposed to be going through Abu Dhabi? This is true.

See, what happened was that my original airline (Etihad) delayed my flight to Abu Dhabi due to fog. Which meant that I wouldn't get to Abu Dhabi in time for my connection to London. So they chucked me onto Cathay Pacific (economy, cheap bastards) to get to London, and it's going through Hong Kong. I DID take pictures, and I shall post them soon, but I was intelligent and put the cable for my camera in my checked in luggage. To be fair though, I didn't think I'd be making an entry. Hoorah for free wireless.

The trip was painfully long (8 hours, and it gets worse from here), but the food was excellent, even if it DID look a bit weird :P The view as we flew into Hong Kong was amazing. It is really a beautiful city, and I'm glad that it was the first non-aussie city I had ever seen. Even if it WAS difficult to see the CBD due to smog :P I managed to make out the Bank of China building though, which was pretty cool. Anyways, the airline. Cathay Pacific's economy is fairly good. All seats have screens to view different channels, and you can always get service from a flight attendant. The seats were a lot smaller than they would have been on Etihad though, and there wasn't any power for laptops or anything like that. But I'll get to check out Etihad on the way home thankfully.

Anyways, I shall leave you lot to it. If you feel like it, comment me on some of the airline experiences that YOU'VE had.

Peace out y'all. Dom
