Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

Instagram post 2175433827694857002_10629159 Heading back to Taiwan with my mind towards the future. I don’t want HK to “go back to her old glories”. I wish her people and leadership the wisdom to move past hate, and remember that progress only comes from dialogues. Democracy is about dialogue, not the spread of hate and divisive rhetorics. If you feel enraged, no matter which side you are on, turn off Facebook, engage someone holding a different opinion, and seek to understand, not to convince. The world can always use more kindness.

Instagram post 2173909045274879139_10629159 Returning and leaving from Taichung Airport can be a bit of routine. The same flight, next to Vietjet all the time. So to make it more interesting I purposely left my passport at home thereby creating fantastic tension. Will I make it on time? Ok all this because I had a brain fart. -.- 11/4 HKG-RMQ, KA490 (B-HSU), A320-232 11/10 RMQ-HKG, KA491 (B-HAE), A320-232
Instagram post 2169398945340952089_10629159 Red eye flight and early morning meeting in HK. She’s still beautiful and dare I say, hopeful. Be positive, and be kind to others. Onward and upward! Oh and flight review... no more South Park on CX/KA IFE, that’s too bad but the factual/documentary section was super sparse and that sucks :(. Oh and the food, the none-existent meal is disappointing. But I guess it’s cost-cutting time and few people eat on this red eye flight. Having said that the snack was quite tasty so it’s not all bad.

Instagram post 2110213701794503805_10629159 HKG is eerily quiet. I am saddened by recent events and I hope people choose love over hatred, no matter what. En route to Beijing, but miss family already. RMQ-HKG, KA491 (B-HSM), A320-232 HKG-PEK, KA904 (B-HYF), A330-343
Instagram post 2071280704890397337_10629159 Back to Taiwan! The last leg of the flight I got to experience the newly updated, 10 abreast economy seating on the 777. That’s a 3-4-3 layout and it is definitely cramped! I’m quite disappointed CX is going this route but I also understand the economic reasoning. Still, it takes away from the premium image. The updated seat back entertainment and table/storage combo was good though. I definitely recommend the window seats for this because you get a bit more elbow room on one side. Unless you are super tall. PVG-HKG, CX369 (B-HND), B777-267 HKG-TPE, CX408 (B-HNS), B777-31H

Instagram post 2052740643706143342_10629159 A really retro flight back to Beijing! After missing out on the A359 from Air China last time, this time I picked the classic 747-400. Of course when we were pushing back there she is, the A359 I missed last time. Being the old 747 (she’s got 25 years on her frame) and being Air China, the cabin temperature is once again set to somewhere between smouldering heat and stuffy sauna. By the way, the Beijing football club stars are on the same flight. Apparently they lost two straight so they don’t get to fly business. SHA-PEK, CA1832 (B-2445), B747-4J6

Instagram post 2039233931787581794_10629159 Unfortunately due to flight cancellation I could not get on Air China’s A350-900 this time. Due to severe traffic congestion, my changed flight got delayed as well BUT, the cabin crew was surprisingly good and the cabin temperature was PERFECT. Sure enough, this aircraft is only 2 years old and it’s configured for international routes. That means better seats and updated IFE system. Plus the purser answered my question about the tail number and asked if I’m keeping an aviation journal, with a smile while some passengers were being assholes about the delay. Air China has definitely improved! Oh and I’m at the back of the plane, so it’s like the economy economy seating area (although lots of Star Alliance Gold members are here because of last minute cancellation and delays. Still the cabin crews are excellent. Or maybe the cool cabin temperature helps too! SHA-PEK, CA1516 (B-8579), A330-343.
Instagram post 2036693595374549539_10629159 Off to Shanghai with Endogenous Technological Change by Paul Michael Romer. Refill my coffee please! ;) This plane will then fly to Madrid, Spain as MU709. However at only 7 years old, she has the 2-2-2 business class set up, not the reverse herringbones or their latest Thompson Vantage XL seats with privacy doors. PEK-PVG, MU5183 (B-6543), A330-243
Instagram post 2035703219453124966_10629159 Goodbye Yinchuan, and congratulations to my dear friend’s wedlock with one fantastic dude! Back to Beijing before heading to Shanghai. See you again Ningxia! I think all my cell phone screens and cameras are scratched by the sand in the desert but it’s all good! CZ cabin crews on this flight is really genuine and friendly. Job well done! INC-PEK, CZ6118 (B-6290), A320-214.
Instagram post 2033347009311499031_10629159 This 7 year-old airframe from China Airlines looks more like 20 years old. Guess it’s been flying a lot of medium hauls across China’s more remote cities. Higher altitude etc. Got to say, Ari China’s lifetime *G membership option is pretty interesting. I’ll start taking more flight with them this year, starting with this one, and then the new 359 later this month! HKG-INC, CA766 (B-5622), B737-89L
Instagram post 2033204171735099595_10629159 Off to HKG then INC! Very nice to have luggage checked straight through between CX and CA! TPE-HKG, CX421 (B-LAX), A330-343
Instagram post 2023841458424748749_10629159 Thank you to everyone in Shanghai! My apologies for the packed day-and-half schedule! Will definitely stay longer next month! Can’t wait to see my family back in Taiwan in the mean time. Will return in a few weeks! Hongqiao T1 is a great departure location for Taipei, smooth and fast in all aspects. SHA-TSA, MU5098 (B-6085), A330-343.
