This morning, CX410, a 28 yr old B773 (note, not the newer B77W) of Cathay Pacific fm HKG to Seoul (ICN). 3 hrs 40 mins. At HKG T1, depending on your gate, you may walk 20 mins fm security. The lounges are dotted about and (ime) not easy to locate. But it's a super modern & highly automated airport

You must post a comment on Q Suite. We're flying Qatar Q Suite for the first time next spring from Melbourne. Looking forward to it. Later this month we're trying Finnair's new(ish) biz offering from Tokyo

We've been here many times over the years and it's nice to come back again. We're actually en route to Seoul (more next week) but decided to have a few days here first as we always enjoy it. Assume you're flying with Qatar

This evening BA31 to HKG. A35K G-XWBK. Scheduled for 13 hrs. Looking forward to a decent sleep before arriving at 3.30pm tomorrow

Hi @gabrielladriver.bsky.social I follow you on here & previously the other place but I've not posted for a while & looks like you haven't either.To my point, I'm in NYC in Nov & it's my daughter's birthday.Can you recommend a couple of Italian restaurants mid-townish for a b'day treat? Can DM. Thx

Do they get fined for that? Interesting thread

Been privileged to see @matt-forde.bsky.social at Edfringe for several years and tonight's show was just the very very best. It's the must-see show amongst must-see shows

Arrived for our 2025 Edinburgh Fringe week. First show imminent😁

Friday evening wine decanted

I like the A350-1000 that BA has but feel as pax it's not easy to tell the difference between that and the B777-300 and I enjoy both and have been on lots of the B777-300 G-STBx series BA operates

Sunday lunch being prepared, roasties in the oven, today's wine decanted. Only one of these bottles left but time to get it drunk. Footie later

Been digging through old wine and found some from the 1980s. Thought it would be for pouring down the sink. But first up this 1986 Ch Haut-Bages Liberal. It's been well kept and surprisingly it's good. Way past its best, but pretty good as good. We'll work through the others in the coming months

After a tough week, this is so good. First bottle from case. Bought en primeur in 2007, recently got out from storage

Sitting there a week ago, now back home in UK

Back to the UK from a super trip to Montreal, Vancouver & Chicago & briefly Quebec City & Milwaukee. Consoling myself with this delivery, all bought en primeur the year following the grape harvest

Informed at 3.30am our flight BA294 ORD to LHR this p.m. is cancelled but been put onto BA296 4hrs later (not seated together but just relieved to be on a flight the same day). It's B78X G-ZBLA, just over 5 yrs old. ORD is v busy. Planes everywhere. 4 parallel runways operating simultaneously

Not sure I'll ever fly in a 748-8 bc usually fly one world alliance airlines (exception Air Canada) - too locked in to their rewards - but will be in ICN this year

Was there just today!

I'm here for my annual week in Chicago from the UK. Love the city, walked the BT on Saturday. Started at the western end and finished up with a great pastrami on rye in Wicker Park

Chicago deep dish pizza pie. Fantastic. Pizzeria Uno & Due. But try as we might, we always over order. Why? Can't help ourselves

Enjoyable Sunday trip to check out Milwaukee,WI today. On western shore of Lake Michigan. 90 mins on Amtrak from Chicago Union Stn. Some fantastic buildings. when you come up to City Hall you realise how huge it is. Some photos here's 1 of 2....

After many attempts finally got a table tonight at Monteverde, in the west loop area of Chicago, modestly describing itself as an Italian restaurant serving fresh pasta. But there's a reason it's difficult to get an evening table. It's fantastic, from start to finish. Cooking of the highest order

Great to be in Chicago again

This morning AC1048 YVR to ORD. 19 yr old A320 C-FCUG. Approx 4 hrs 15 mins. (Sorry couldn't photo the plane as it wasn't visible from the gate area, but here's an identical one next door which is going to LAX!)

Like the blue/black inky hues there. Great photo

Three views of Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver - driving over, from the Stanley Park sea wall underneath, and from the air

Dinner at Coal Harbour, Vancouver. Stanley Park and snowy mountain backdrop. Today walked round the Stanley Park sea wall. 9 km. Stunning views and wildlife all the way

Return from Victoria, BC to Vancouver Harbour on this Twin Otter, 14 pax, cruised at 3250 ft. En route fantastic flyby of YVR, whole airport captured in one photo, and of whole of downtown Vancouver

Glorious day at Victoria, BC before sea plane back to Vancouver. Water taxi to fisherman's wharf for fish and chips lunch
