Night @ Shanghai
Day trip to Hangzhou's West Lake.
Meal at the famous Hangzhou chain restaurant, Grandma's Kitchen. Very affordable and delicious food!
It was a speedy taxi ride to Pudong T2 to catch our flight home. Check-in queues were not very long even though Economy was rather full. Premium cabins were almost empty though. Final load, 0F, 9J and about almost 100% full in Economy.
Boarding pass.
Really huge and spacious check-in hall. Reminds me of HKG, PEK etc though. Design seems rather generic.
Off through immigration and security, which were rather painless compared to PEK, and into the departure hall.
Spotted an Air NZ B772ER and an Etihad A330 in special livery parked at the remot stands.
Firstly, we went to the lounge to grab some bites. Used our Priority Passes to access the 69 VIP Lounge (as name because it is beside Gate 69). The lounge is also used by a number of airlines.
There are 2 sections of the lounge, First and Business. However, both sections were exactly similar with same seating and food offering. Also, the lounge attendants did not dictate which section you had to go to and so one can move freely between the 2 sections. There were also toilets and showers available in the lounge. As the First Class section was almost empty, we went into that section. Lounge was not too busy at this hour.
Buffet offering, which was a rather mediocre affair.
