Just came back from the phillipines to london via hongkong, terible seats, hard, not much padding, now I have a back ache. Korean air is better, wont be going on Cathy again.
@Chrispy854 Those engines are GE/Snecma CFM56-5Cs that have only 34,000lbs thrust. That is why it was outsold by Boeing's 777 that has excellent takeoff performance.
I love the grinding sound of those engines when they spool up...!

Whether Airbus or Boeing, today's jetliners are incredible. Think of how long it would have taken to get from Hong Kong to London in 1911!

No. No idea what you are talking about as nothing looks like an airport there. Plus the place you are looking at 1:42 is Lantau and not Kowloon
