Taipei Taoyuan Airport Terminal 1

B-HNI. Was initially scheduled to be an A333 but was changed to this B773, probably due to high loads. The flight was about 80% full.

Conclusion

The service on this flight was quite good. Apart from the usual service similar to HKG-TPE, the crew generally interacted more with passengers. When I asked for a pack of playing cards at the galley, the crew actually gave me 6 packs and cheekily told me said Sssh, don't let the other passengers see. Also when I requested to buy a model B773ER from the duty free, the leading? crew (dunno wat CX calls them) told me Oh, I am not the bar girl today. Come, follow me and let me introduce you to the bar girl and led me to the rear galley where she introduced me to the cabin crew in charge of duty free on the flight, This is our bar girl, Vxxxn. Vxxxn, let me introduce you to a handsome guy! Haha, it was so hilarious and fun!

A flight time of 1h17 : not bad. My all time fastest is 1h15' from HKG, with a strong tailwind . I remember very friendly CX crew on some of these flights, too. Thanks for this FR !
