Hong Kong Tomorrow..!

Well, it only seems like yesterday that bmi-star said that he was off to Hong Kong and now it is finally my turn.

Since booking to go almost 2 months ago, I’ve been very excited about going. It is somewhere I have always wanted to visit. And now, having read bmi-star’s reports of the place, I’m even more excited.

On Tuesday, I’ll be flying with Virgin Atlantic on flight VS200, scheduled to be an A340-600. So not only am I going somewhere I’ve always been so keen to visit, I’m also flying with an airline and on an aircraft that I’ve always wanted to try, too. After dropping me in Hong Kong, it will continue its trip to Sydney, Australia.

As for Virgin, I’ve heard some very mixed reviews and although I hate to say it – the bad far outnumber the good. They offer dismal legroom in economy and the level of service is not the best in the world, but I’ll make my own mind up tomorrow.

Anyway, I’m sticking around in Hong Kong for 5 nights before returning on VS201 next Monday, arriving at London Heathrow at 5.25am on Tuesday morning (the 27th). So if any of you insane photographers who visit Heathrow at 5am in the morning (Wannabe Pilot 😉 ) want to snap my arrival… please do!

Once I return, I’ll be writing one of my in-depth flight reviews, hopefully with photos from my window seat – 61A. 🙂

And to finish with, here’s a shot of none other than a Virgin A346 landing in Hong Kong: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/848817/L/
