Hkg-lhr 29/10/2006

Route / Plane - HKG-LHR / B747-400 (Refurbished)

Day/Night flight - Day - Dep HKG 08:15 Arr LHR 13:35

Seat No. (aisle / window / middle)- 22A (Emergency exit window - not much of a window. You have to turn your head about 90 degrees)

Check in ok? - Used ITCI at Hong Kong Station, Central. Quick and courteous, very pleased

Seat comfort (width ok?) - Good recline, seat width as expected, nothing special. Preferred to use legrest without the foot bar.

Legroom - Plenty. No obstruction.

Ease of getting in and out - Excellent.

Food - Average. I've had worse and I've had better on other airlines. Nothing much to say. Meals for this sector: Breakfast, Afternoon Tea, Lunch.

Drink
- Asked for champagne and was told it was sparkling wine from New Zealand. Very nice FA let me try the Veuve Clicquot Ponsard from Business Premier throughout the flight. ^

FA attentiveness - Very good. Service with a smile. ^

AVOD - Not bad but a bit fiddly to use.

Would you do it again? - No, not for twice the price of normal economy.
