I had very low expectations for CMB airport, but was pleasantly surprised. There was no queue at check-in, they gladly blocked the seat next to me and checked me all the way through to London.





Security was empty and very easy to pass through and I was quickly inside the Lotus lounge. It was very clean and tidy but really had very limited food.







My ride to BKK and then onto HKG was an old B777-300.



We boarded on-time and actually departed around 10 minutes ahead of schedule. It was a pretty bumpy flight to BKK.

The cabin is the very old CX Regional Business Class. Miles better than BA's Club Europe but way behind what EK offers. I understand that CX also use this on what other airlines would consider long haul!











The seat is actually a lot more comfortable than it looks and I managed to get a few hours sleep (hence no pictures of the meal services on this flight).

Upon approach to BKK we flew over the old airport with the golf course in the middle of the two runways!



The turnaround at BKK was very quick and once again I was impressed at how clean the CX aircraft were. Again, I fell asleep between BKK and HKG.













I then headed off into the city for my afternoon meetings.
