Just finished my SFO-HKG-DPS-HKG-SFO trip (outbound on 3 SEP and return on 10SEP) and have a couple of points worth mentioning for people yet to travel
- Bag weight is based on total weight not weight per bag
- IFE system is great but the movie selection is limited (half US and half China based movies)
- FAs in J are attentive if you get their attention. As someone who has flown Delta, United and US Airways (pre-merger) business the FAs on HX were as good but didnt refill drinks unless you asked for it.
- The lounge in SFO (KLM/AF lounge) is crowded and not great
- The showers in the HKG lounge (upstairs from gates 201-230) are awesome
- Alcohol selection inflight is limited (Johnny Walker, McCallan 12y scotch, Vodka and Rum)
- Gluten Free meal departing US was plain (main dish was Chicken, Broccoli and Rice with no sauce)
- Seats (not the updated seats but flying with the Mrs so the "honeymoon" setup was good for us) and Amenity kits were on par with US carries
- HX does duty free on board (different than most US carriers)
- On-time flights between SFO-HKG dont exist. We were 4 hours late out of SFO and 45m late back into SFO)
