Checked in for this flight and went through security quickly too as it was again, the only flight that was active at that time. Got inside the terminal and found that the flight hasn't arrived and there were no other aircraft in the airport. Waited for the aircraft to arrived and found they called boarding like 5 minutes after the arriving passengers have deplaned... so I guess that clearly tells that no cleaning took place. Was amongst the first to board the plane, but it didn't allow any photo opportunities due to the large number of passengers rushing behind me =(...
We departed early and since there were no parallel taxiway at LJG, we went to the end of the runway and turned around for the take-off. We then encountered some turbulence after take-off (maybe caused by the fact that the airport is surrounded by mountains??) On this flight, we were served a packet of nuts and a can of drink. Then we landed at Kunming shortly afterwards.
 
A pack of nut with Coca-Cola.

Again, we had to go through arrival then check-in again. Again, only one counter was opened. Everything was smooth and we boarded the plane when they called (having learnt that boarding early is definitely an advantage) After boarding we found that row 9 was right infront of the exit, so no recline =( . Anyhow, we took off and refreshment/dinner was served. Since there were no IFE, I decided to take a nap, but with no recline, my head was swinging here and there. Then we landed at Hongqiao and were parked at a remote stand. Hongqiao is quite different nowadays with a great reduction of passengers going through the airport now.
