On Our Way To Europe
By Lothar. Filed in Japan |
We just had a very nice flight on Cathay Pacific from Tokyo to Hong Kong.
Cathay Pacific rates # 1 with me on this trip so far. The service was excellent, the food and presentation like in a gourmet restaurant, not to mention the French Medoc red wine. We finished our steak dinner with fresh fruit, cheese selections and Haeagen-Dazs ice cream. In the meantime, the captain did a good job flying us from Tokyo over the East China Sea between Taipei and Shanghai to Hong Kong on the South China Sea.
The good bye in Tokyo was in typical Japanese fashion. The Tokyo ramp manager first bowed to our plane as we started to roll and then waved with his hand until we turned on the next taxiway. Very polite !
We passed the Hong Kong Airport fever screening check without setting off any alarm, but I was stopped at security, because I have an Epi-pen with my medication supplies in my backpack. Only after informing the airline, that I carry a needle on board, were we allowed to proceed to the gate.
Now we are off to Paris on our next Cathay Pacific flight.
