Boarding:
China Southern Airlines really starts their boarding early. Despite a departure time of 2:35pm, boarding began at 1:45pm, and for the return flight, boarding started at 7:45am for a departure time of 8:50am. I presume CZ does not want to lose its departure slot, but for both flights, they still need to page passengers.

Boarding at HKG – two jet bridges at Gate 60





Boarding at PEK – Gate 12 is the A380 gate at PEK’s Terminal Two



B-6138 sat at gate 12 overnight (well every nights for now)









Gate 12 has three fingers – two for main deck and one for upper deck
