Review of Cathay Pacific flight from Kaohsiung to Hong Kong in Economy

Hello everyone, welcome to the third part of the trip from Munich Germany to Kaohsiung Taiwan. This report will cover the flight from Kaohsiung back to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific Airways. This will be the 100th report that I published on Flight-Report.

In the afternoon, we took a taxi and brought us to the airport directly. The airport is located in the southern part of the city which is not too far away from the city center. There were only a few people at Cathay's check-in desk, in just a few minutes we checked our luggage to Hong Kong. The airport terminal is that big, and it just has 12 boarding bridges.

Before we headed for the air-side, I brought some souvenirs at the shop.

There were just a few flight leaving in the evening, totally not busy at all.

I passed through the immigration with the automatic gate, hence there was no departure stamp on my passport.

China Airlines A321neo, B-18105 schedule to depart to Hong Kong at 18:00 as CI935.

In just a few minutes I arrived at my gate 22. For the rest of the time until boarding, I sat in front of the gate and waited.

Boarding eventually started at 18:54pm.

My seat 47K.

At 19:07pm, boarding was completed and it was announced that the flight time would be 1 hour and 6 minutes. A few minutes later, safety video demonstration was played. 

At 19:20pm, pushback was commenced. Soon, the cabin light was turned off for takeoff.

At 19:31pm, we took off from runway 09.

We made a u-turn immediately after take off and headed southwest to leave the island.

Throughout the flight I just listened to some music.

Shortly after takeoff, cabin light was turned on again. About 15 minutes after takeoff, dinner was served. There was only one choice of pork with rice. Together one the tray, they offered also a bottle of water and metal cutlery.

After the meal service, I visited the lavatory.

At 20:08pm, announcement from the cockpit that we were 30 minutes away from landing.

We approached Hong Kong Airport from the South. At 20:28pm, cabin light was turned off and flaps were lowered for landing.

At 20:35pm, we landed on runway 07L. Total flight time was 1 hour and 4 minutes.

Finally we parked at gate 28 of terminal 1. After getting off the plane, I finally had the chance to look at the plane. The A330-300, B-LBG delivered to Cathay Pacific Airways in September 2014. It was then transferred to Dragonair/Cathay Dragon in 2017 until the airline ceased operation.
