Following on from a series of meetings in the city, it was then back to HKG to sample the lounges and freshen up ahead of my evening flight to LHR. I headed to The Wing and took a day room for a little privacy.
With 40 minutes before departure, I headed off to gate 9 to board. As I arrived, the gate had changed to 48....the complete opposite end of the terminal. You could not get further away! Why do CX have so many last minutes gate changes?
The weather at HKG was awful.. Heavy rain and storms so we had a 90 minute delay. That said, we arrived into LHR only 45 minutes late.
Once on board I was in heaven - CX truly do have the best F seat!
The meal service started quickly after take-off.
Oops....I forgot to take the before picture. I had the beef which was very good indeed!
Then it was time for some sleep.
With the excpetion of the bathroom in F on the A380, the CX First bathrooms are the best in the sky IMHO.
Breakfast is always a great affair on CX!
The Zegna amenity kit and pyjamas.
We then arrived into LHR Terminal 3......this place sucks!
