Hi

I was on the cx 253 hkg to lhr at 1330 this afternoon.
en route to the airport the traffic signs said red rain warning
we boarded at 1300 then told by the captain at 1330 that due to weather in mainland China there was atc slot restrictions and we had a 90min take off delay
Crew in business passed out packets of peanuts
we pushed back at 1430 and airborne at 1500
Some bumpiness for the first couple of hours ( seatbelt signs on) and crew were told to be seated just as the lunch was about to be served in business ( and stopped in other cabins) but service resumed after about 10 mins)

Regards
