friendly. http://www.hongkongexpress.com/web/eng/ One sad part was
none of my Airline loyalty program works. O well, only one hour of
flight from Hong Kong to Haikou anyway. No big deal. We got served a
light meal. Not pretzels with salt. A proper tray with something warm
wrapped in tinfoil. Ha! A hot dog! Funny. And on this flight,
there were lots of Ironman participants. A bit rowdy. Two British
from Hong Kong sat behind me; they gave the flight attendants
harassment about not having their own personal entertainment unit.
And the reason they took Hong Kong Express was that the airline
website said there was. Hey buddies, take a flippy leap off the
plane; maybe I should send you all to take a domestic flight with
United or Delta. Gee. Some people!
Unbeknown to me, a good friend of ours from Shanghai who signed up for
the FULL Ironman race, his brothers from England were also on the same
flight. And what was the odd that they sat next to me? Very slim?
Nope. They said next to me for the flight. Ha! Never met them
before. We had a good laugh on that.
The departing gate for the Haikou flight from Hong Kong was at a "mini
terminal" all by itself. We watched it built over time. And got to
use it this time. Saw a sign saying "Observation Deck". Went to take
a look. Right. It was the outdoor smoker lounge! How the heck can
someone planned to have both as a smoking lounge and an Observation
Deck in this 2 feet wide by 6 feet long small balcony as "both"?
