Part 1 : Introduction
Hello guys and welcome to my flight review. On 23 October 2024 after my Hainan Airlines Flight from Brussels, Belgium, I was flying Hong Kong Airlines from Shanghai Pudong To Hong Kong with my mother and my girlfriend onboard their Airbus A320 aircraft.
Part 2 : Stopover at PVG
After pick-up the check-bag of our previous flight from Brussels, we are continue to waiting check-in for our next flight to Hong Kong and here's the timetable of International Flights Arrival at PVG.
Then I read my 3 books about "Frozen 2" and Hong Kong Buses.
Since the inflight meal for HX237 was a Red Bean Bun, so we decided to have a brunch at the restaurant named "梅龙镇酒家" ("Meilongzhen Big Restaurant" in English). The price was 136 yuan and it was tasty. Unfortunately my girlfriend was slept suddenly😴, so I wake her up to eat😒🙄 !!!
Here's the Airbus A320 and A321 aircrafts parked at the domestic gate of Shanghai Pudong International Airport Terminal 2. Then we procced to check-in with our check-bags.
Part 2A : Before Boarding
After check-in, security check and passport check for exit PRC, we procceded AGAIN to the Satellite Terminal on the same day to reach our Gate G189 At Gate, there's a lot of passengers are waiting our flight HX237 to Hong Kong. Since my girlfriend had already found that the air condition inside the terminal was insufficient and because the temperature in Hong Kong was 28°c that day, so she changed her long sleeves into a tube top backless dress before boarding.
Part 2B : PVG > HKG
Our flight to HKG that day was operated by B-LPQ, the YOUNGEST Airbus A320 aircraft of Hong Kong Airlines who's joined the fleet on April 2016 (B-LPR and B-LPT are second-hand aircraft, and both aircraft were more than 10 years old when they joined Hong Kong Airlines in 2024).

Just 20 minutes after takeoff, the crew started to serve the REFRESHMENT SERVICE with Red Bean Bun, a bottle of water and a cup of coke. Later an crew knows that I was big fan of Hong Kong Airlines, so she completed my flightlog with an other crews.
