Avnormal in Manila

I like to take this opportunity to promote my good friend Kit Stephen Agad's aviation picture blog: Avnormal in Manila

Some of his works were posted in this blog. Some samples =)

Cathay Pacific Economy B773 MNL-HK / Dragonair Economy A330 HK-PEK

Our flight was suppose to depart around 11:00 am but due to heavy congestion, the return aircraft was a little late and our flight departed around 11:30 from the gate and take-off was around 12:00 pm. MNL-HK-MNL is a heavy route since many people go to Hong Kong for travel, and OFWs. CX have a total of 6 flights daily from this route. the economy class is about 98% full and business class i think is about 30% full.

no more english newspapers :(

shell type seat configuration. It didn't recline which made it uncomfortable but the seat was soft.

PTV. I didn't like the safety video (it was soo boring) it didn't catch any attention and I don't like animated 3D like people.

Since it's only a 2 hour flight, the inflight meal was sandwich.

CX's New Regional Business Class. Awesome!

Cathay Pacific's Premium Economy

I haven't post entries in my blog since I was away for China and been busy since i arrived. One thing that really admires me from Cathay Pacific is it's QUALITY. I have never had any bad experience with this excellent carrier from ground staff to flight attendants, everything is spotless. My family was booked for economy from MNL-HK (HK-PEK-HK via dragonair) and HK-MNL which by the way all flights (even all other airlines) going to Hong Kong are always full. CX is known to upgrade economy passengers to business class if economy is full (due to overbooking) this is not my first time to experience this upgrade with CX and that's why I've been loyal to them.

I was looking for my seat no back in economy and could not find it, then the very nice flight attendant directed me to my seat. It was confusing because when i sat down, the seat was wide, the legroom was spacious and the vibe is beyond economy. 

It was a total different experience! it was not crowded, not noisy, spacious, and soooooo luxurious

Make it happen! Cathay Pacific and it's awesome promo! Beijing!

I've only fly 2 airlines whenever I travel abroad, and that is either Philippine Airlines / Cathay Pacific. I've been impressed with PAL during my flight to Singapore, Bangkok, and Domestic flights. But to be honest, I'm much loyal to CX why? CX offers promotional fares that are relatively low that it can compete with promo fare that of PAL. 

My Dad booked our family going to Beijing on April 30-May 4 (Spring Time) for only $172 usd / P7,000 round trip all in airfare. Although we have to take a connecting flight to Hong Kong, still it's very cheap for a fare going to beijing. 

I'm so excited to see all those tourist destinations that i get only to see on television.
