5. Cathay Pacific Airways flight CX 840

Flight was packed. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2312.jpg Taxiing to the runway http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2317.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2318.jpg Takeoff from Hong Kong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8ynr...el_video_title Shortly after takeoff http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2321.jpg Cocktail & Meal Service Peanuts with the usual orange juice. I love these nuts! :D http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2324.jpg Our route for the long flight back to JFK. Since we were going eastbound, we wanted to take advantage of tailwinds hence the flight is not via the pole. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2326.jpg Menu for today (3 choices available) Herb marinated turkey and vegetable salad Braised chicken with tomato, mushroom in brown sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots Marble cheese cake http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2335.jpg After the meal service, I fell asleep for most of the flight. When I woke up, were cruising over the Midwestern U.S. presumably over Nebraska. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2337.jpg Meal Service. To my surprise as I have taken this flight multiple times before, instead of a late lunch/early dinner, breakfast was being served. Most likely for the passengers to adjust to time zone changes. Menu for today (2 choices available) Seasonal fresh fruit Fruit yoghurt Braised chicken with ginger, spring onion and oyster sauce on steamed rice roll Croissant with fruit preserve and butter http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2344.jpg A nice hot cup of Chinese tea to round up my meal http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2347.jpg An aircraft cruising next to us. Looks like a Virgin America A320 but I could be wrong. My apologies once again for the poor quality. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2358.jpg Washroom and amenities. Compared to the amenities business class, the amenities in economy class look rather cheap. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2359.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2362.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2360.jpg Approach into JFK. Beautiful lights on our way down. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...X/IMG_2368.jpg Landing at New York/JFK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZGXQ...el_video_title |

Warm almonds and Krug. Krug is only offered in first class but since it was my birthday, the crew was delighted to offer me a glass of Krug as a good gesture! :D I was also offered a bottle of Krug to take home but unfortunately I declined due to fear that the bottle might break. I rather not have Krug spilled over or bits of glass everywhere. I would have gladly accepted if this was HKG-JFK.
