Just arrived back from HKG. Took the first flight out with Dragon Air. This is just a little experience everyone should remember! Racquet case is considered too large a dimension to be ALLOWED as a carry-on!!!! You need to check the bag! BUT if you are carrying badminton racquets, they are OK! But if your case has badminton racquets and squash racquets, they are NOT OK to be carried on! That's the stupid rule by the HKIA security rule! How stupid was that? So I had to check in my racquet bag at the airport. Thank goodness I spent US$50.00 for a Cathay Pacific Marco Polo membership. It's valid for Cathay and Dragon Air. I went all the way from one end of the airport to the center of the airport but found out some dumb assess had this one-way only policy for Dragon Air. So I had to walk the length of the airport in width to get to the other entrance. By then I was pissed with all these stupid rules. And my heels were hurting so bad from Arthritis. At the counter, the staff said " O... Yeah, you have to check the racquet bag". So I wonder if all the professional racquet related players would have to do the same when leaving HKG after a professional tournament and entrusted there will be no damage or racquet stolen. I checked my bag as soon as I got it. Everything was there.
This coming Sunday, heading to Bangkok; iron-wife has a course to teach with a company. Will be interesting to see how stable that place is. Unpack my bag and repacking it; that's the order of the day; but I am getting good at this. My bag is getting smaller by each trip.
