Check-in done heading to security then Duty Free. There's a renovated connection building between T2A and T2C which is very nice!



Heading to the gate A50 where the plane is parked, couldn't spot the plane it was hidden by the jet bridge.

The CX278 was originally operated by an A340-300, but it was replaced by new 777. 3-3-3 is very comfortable.

Conclusion

A super smooth flight to HK. Cabin crew were nice to passengers, catering was excellent. CX offers 3 hot meal choices for dinner and 2 hot choices for breakfast. Snacks were available in the galley. CX offers some Newspapers and magazine before the boarding, the IFE was super easy to use and offers a large choice of media(movie, music, TV show, game, etc..).

CDG is quite a messed up airport, but renovated area are really nice! Those 4 terminal (T2A,B,C,D), need more shops and services.

Arrived at HKG on time, passport check was very efficient, the airport is very clean, and airport staff really kind!

Thanks for reading me, next review coming soon!
