After 4 days of holiday in Kuala Lumpur, it was time for me to return back to the UK via Hong Kong.
I arrived at KLIA around 2pm. I spent some time at 1 cafe in the main terminal building, checked-in my luggage and make my way to the satellite terminal.
Managed to do some spotting at the satellite terminal
SV's Triple 7
MHs
And soon, it was time for boarding

My seat
Cabin during boarding
The 2 seats next to me were soon occupied by a couple most probably from Iran
The cabin when everyone settled down. This flight was 90% full.
MH's A330-300 next to us
The safety demo was played on the screen and cabin crews make the final check of the cabin before we started to push back.
Taxing to the runway
KLIA2
We raced with D7 to get airborne
And we won the match!
Flying into the cloud
30 minutes into the flight, cabin crews walked down the aisle and distributed peanuts and drinks
Finally, it was dinner time. There were 2 options between fish and chicken. I chose the latter.
The Fried Rice with Sweet & Sour Chicken was to tasty and flavorful.
Outside, the sky was getting darker.
Soon, there was an announcement from the cockpit informing us that we were about to land in Hong Kong shortly.
The cabin was dimmed in preparation for landing.
Approaching Hong Kong
We safely landed at HKG behind the schedule.
HKG was such a busy airport. The staffs who were handling connecting passengers at HKG were super slow. As a result, I had to run to the gate where the boarding process of my next flight, BA026 to LHR already started.
Conclusion:
This was my first time flying with CX and personally, I think they are an OK carrier. Not really fantastic and not too bad either. In my flight, only 1 male crew who served my row was friendly,warm and energetic while the rest of them just wanted finish their job quickly. The meal on CX was very nice though.
Thank you for reading my very first TR here on Flyertalk. Up next, I will post some photos during my trip in KL
