Flying to the heart of Thailand on Hong Kong Airlines. Hong Kong Airlines are quite the good airline despite a few kinks here and there. And one of the better carriers I’ve been fortunate enough to fly on.
Flight time was just under 3 hrs, at 2hrs and 55 min for this flight. Scheduled time of departure was 12:10 pm in the afternoon, with actual time of departure being just past 1 pm, almost an hour late. Scheduled time of arrival was 2:05 pm, Bangkok time, with actual arrival time being 2:20 pm, in the afternoon. My seat was 36A, like the inbound, on the left side of the aircraft.
The aircraft was the smaller Airbus A330-200, registered as B-LNE, which flew HX775 today.
Hong Kong Airlines have disappointed me a bit on this flight, as compared to the last. The main fault I had was with the seat, which is massively less comfortable than the seat on the A330-300. The IFE was similar to the last flight, with good selection for a 2.5 hr flight, although the touchscreen is a bit less responsive than the A333. The meal was quite good, although not exactly great in terms of quantity or quality, the sides particularly. The crew were the same as the previous flight, and are what Hong Kong Airlines have the most to improve upon. Of course, the timing of the flight is no longer an excuse, and a few smiles would do no harm.
Seat 8/10
IFE 9/10
Meal 8/10
Crew 7.5/10
Overall experience rating : 8.1/10
Overall a pleasant and enjoyable experience with Hong Kong Airlines, although, there certainly is room for much improvement.
Thanks for watching!
