Cathay Dragon CAN-HKG
Welcome to my inaugural flight review. Sorry if I haven't followed all the rules of FT forum as a rookie. It's a very short one (the flight, and the review!). Guangzhou to HKG in 70 minutes, push-back to landing. Nice standard short haul 2-2-2 biz class config on the Airbus A330. Space next to seat-back screen to store a mobile phone.
I just wondered if they'd be able to serve food. Somehow they did. The trick was that they handed out a box consisting of cocktail style snacks pre-flight. Nice job!

Shefgab: airborne approx. 45 minutes. Distance 84 miles. Biz class full. I would guess a % were transferring. I'm told it's just as convenient to drive, if you take into account transfers at both ends, and security.

The D train from Guangzhou to Luohu takes 1.5 hours, but the G bullet train from GZ South (very far away from city centre) and SZ North (20mins by metro to Futian) takes 30mins. Still a much more practical alternative to planes
