Got to the airport at 11PM last night. After dropping off my bags, I did some work on my laptop and went to get a bite at the International Food Court. Totally drained right now, but at least I’ll get some sleep on the plane.
Can’t wait for lights to actually light things up, this photo looks really dead otherwise
Taking off!
Baking towards the South China SeaCruising at FL380. After about 30 minutes the crew began to hand out meals and I have to say, the tofu and long beans with rice was excellent. The blanket was very comfortable for premium economy and the legroom was great, and I was asleep in no time.
Starting our descent into VHHH

Breaking out of character, I remember flying into Hong Kong for a layover when I was about 5. The view of planes taking off against the backdrop of the beautiful mountains really stuck with me.
Taxiing to our gate.
Finally, deplaning in Hong Kong! Now to relax before I catch my connecting flight to Chicago on the A35K (which we don’t have in IF so I’ll use the A359)
