Having arrived into Shanghai Pudong airport by car, we walked down the ramp into the check-in area only finding the signs on the ramp do not really correspond to the actual check-in counter locations. Anyhow, we got to Dragonair's check-in desks and my aunt being a Platinum Elite club member, we didn't have the queue up since there were dedicated counters. Check-in was not exactly quick as there were some 'faults' with the boarding pass printer... (not all lines on the boarding pass could be printed... including the flight number...) Anyway, the check-in agent (MU staff) hand written the missing bits in (but not the sequence number ><). Again, I requested for the exit window seat, although knowing the window problem. I also got an invitation to the KA lounge because of my aunt's membership status.
 
Before going through immigration controls, we had to fill in a health declaration form and buy the airport construction fee. Immigration and security checks were relatively swift and we got to the lounge with some time to spare. Having had some refreshments, I used the computer and shortly afterwards, boarding was called. Boarding took a while as the queue was quite long when I got there. Anyhow, I got to my seat and took some photos etc...
 
Service onboard this flight was towel service then lunch then inflight sales. Photos are as follows.

Back to row 21 again.
 
Lunch.
 
Ice-cream dessert =D.
 
This KA flight was good. Cabin crews and flight deck crews were friendly. The meal on this flight was better than the ones to Shanghai, although the ice-cream was still frozen rock hard...
