A few more cabin shots to capture the memory of my beloved CX 747 J!











These planes are being phased out so catch them while you can!

I budget some surprise event whenever I use Beijing's airport. It could be non-weather-related delays, long immigration lines, or baggage delivery problems. I was quite happy immigration didn't take long but there was a huge line at the people-mover station right after, which took a long while to clear since the trains don't seem to run frequently. I managed to squeeze into the second train after the crowds tried to pack into the first departure beyond belief. My luggage was ready for pick-up shortly after my delayed arrival into the main Terminal 3. What a surprise. Even the taxi line was shorter.

some of the best "out the window" pictures I've seen on FT, especially those of HKG. Amazing!

I really liked your report, but I'm curious: did you actually hang out in Beijing, or just go there simply to enjoy an airplane ride?

I had an agenda in Beijing. It wasn't a mileage run.
