Part 3 – The Old Comfy Way Home, Cathay Pacific Airbus 330-300 Long Haul Business MNL - HKG


For the return flight, I had booked myself flying Business Class on 918 while was scheduled to operate on the 351.
Unfortunately with a lighter load, CX swapped this flight with a 333.
Luckily I landed on the 333 Long Haul version featuring the Older Cirrus Reverse Herringbone product, and not the 333 Regional product.

Come to think of it, it's been a solid 4-5 Years I've flown this product.
I just simply don't fly CX's Thinner Medium-Haul markets of BNE/PER/ADL/BOM/HYD/DXB/BAH.

CX 918 MNL – HKG 5:45pm – 8:20pm (333/J)

With a successful trip in MNL, I packed up after a late Hotel Breakfast and checked out from the Manila Marriott at 210pm.
To supersede the traffic issue, I asked to have the golf carts drop me off at Manila Runway, so I can walk on the Footbridge to Terminal 3.

Calmest Way to the Airport, the Runway Manila


I made it back to the terminal by 230pm, yes I was that early for the flight.
I wanted to grab a late lunch and photos of the lounge while it was emptier. 😀

Immigration control was separated into Philippines Nationals and Foreigners line.
The entire exit control and security process took 20 mins, not bad 🙂
