HND - HKG
The next morning we headed to HND for a ride on UD of the CX 744. This was my first time on the CX 744 and first time riding on the UD of any 744 (I had previously ridden in the nose on TG F back in 2014).

The first stop of course was the new CX J lounge at HND where I had to take advantage of the noodle bar, the beer machine, and a NAS Yamazaki:





















Our chariot for today’s ride down to HKG:





First impressions of the cabin. Wow this is quite a tight fit - I wouldn’t want to be stuck in this seat for a flight over the Pacific or down to JNB. That being said for the hop to HKG it was more than sufficient:







Now how about we start this journey off with a nice glass of champagne. Cheers:



A short time later we were off the gate and heading towards HKG. I attempted to take a couple of Mt. Fuji pictures but alas they were a bit blurry so my apologies:



Now on to more urgent matters like lunch. Today’s menu:











First up the starters:



I went with the chicken teriyaki. It was borderline disgusting - I’ve had better from the crappy Chinese restaurant around the corner from me. It left a sour taste in my mouth and instantly lowered my expectations for the CX F flight we’d be on a few days later (fears that ultimately proved accurate):



And of course some cheese and Haagen Dazs to conclude things:





The rest of the flight was uneventful and a short while later we touched down in HKG and made our way to the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong!
