I'm in London now, getting ready for a biz dinner. My g'f arrived this morning. After tonight's dinner, I'm free in London until Monday!

Sorry for getting so behind on the trip report. I'm posting a short update on my trip to KL, then will post the KUL-LHR segment tomorrow or Monday.

I had a 10:00a flight out of Narita. Enjoyed a quick breakfast than hopped aboard the Narita Express to the airport. Check-in was quick and my bag checked to KL (still hoping that my baggage luck continues ). CX Lounge is comfortable, similar to others in Asia (but no Wing lounge!)

Flight to Hong Kong was another Triple Seven. I like these planes. Biz Class was comfortable, and service was nice on this four and a half hour flight. Too bad we can't have these jumbos more often on short 4-hour hops, not to mention the service.

I had only an hour and a half hours at CLK. Stopped by the Wing lounge, but didn't take advantage of the blissful shower rooms. Instead I ordered some Dim Sum and worked on the laptop. Yes, ordered. At the FC section of the Wing, you can't get food yourself. They must serve it to you.

Flight to KL was aboard an Airbus A340, IIRC. Another nice four hour flight.

KL is simply a quick stop to meet up with some colleagues, so I won't be venturing into the city. PanPac KL Airport is the hotel for my stay.

It was a very nice hotel. I got a nice room on the Pacific floor for about $200. After a morning meeting in the Airbus Room (I would have preferred the Boeing room, but...), I lounged by the pool. Nothing better than total relaxing with 747s blasting overhead.
