Hong Kong - Shanghai (Pudong) 19NOV03 19NOV03 KA896 HKG-PVG Date: 19NOV03 Airline: DragonairFlight: KA896 Aircraft: Airbus Industrie A321-231 Registration: B-HTG Seat: 22F- Economy Class Loading: 72% Departure Bay: W46 Scheduled Departure Time: 1550 Actual Departure Time: 1549 Departure Runway: 07R Estimated Arrival Time: 1800 Arrival Runway: 17 Actual Arrival Time: 1759 Arrival Bay: 25 Flight Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes Block Time: 2 Hours 09 Minutes Flight Mileage: 780nm Cruising Altitude: FL335 *There is no time difference between Hong Kong and Shanghai. I arrived at HKG airport around 1.5hr before STD for check-in. Somehow, Dragonair only opened 3 Economy Class Check-in counters, resulting in the queue building up quickly. However, since there were a number of The Elite Club counters open and they were not being used, the KA staff sent us to those counters. Asked for an exit window seat and got 22F , but then no window for a fact . Next time I'll be more careful. Anyhow, I then went through immigration and security checks swiftly and found that HKG airport is being heavily renovated at the shopping areas for more shops. Not a pleasant sight. I took the automated train to the other end of the terminal as there weren't much time left before boarding and I was keen to board early for the photos. 
A number of CX aircraft at gates 60-70, where the
second lounge is.
B-HTG as KA896 at gate 46.
A closer shot.
The Business Class cabin- Still the old Business
Class seats.
The Economy Class cabin, again, the old seats . The
cushioning was not enough, so the seat was pretty hard...
Looking out through
the exit window (R3).

The Crew Seat.
Refreshment- Lotus
leaf rice with Chinese dim sums.
The overhead panel at the beginning of
descend. Generally, the flight was good, but the meal was only warm and the ice-cream was rock hard frozen . And also one of the KA merchandise that I wanted to purchase was out of stock... Other than that and the seat, the flight was great with some very nice flight deck and cabin crews. This site is only intended for private usage.
