I did not see this coming (at least not as the first airline to (re)-start this route, but Philippine Airlines will start operating Clark – Hong Kong three times weekly from December 9th. This is the first time (to my knowledge) that they will be operating this route. Pre-covid it was operated twice daily by Cebu Pacific and once daily by Dragonair, so I am sure the demand it there.

It has now been about a year since I had the energy to make a post on this blog. The point of this blog was to be a happy place where I saved my travel memories and documented the growth of air traffic in Hong Kong while I was working and living here.

So, leaving the house at 17:00 we quickly arrived at the airport, where check-in was quickly completed after passing through the first set of security screening. At check-in we also got a voucher for our free stop-over in Dubai, we had been allocated Le Meridien hotel, which is just across the street from the terminal, so I decided we would have to use that as well, as long as we arrive on time. We then proceeded to fill in immigration forms for the kids, as they have Philippino passports, and then we had to clear immigration, before there is another security screening, and then we are finally in the boarding area.
After killing a little bit of time in the terminal, we were quickly starting boarding, and we were greeted by the door by one of the cabin crew, and showed to our seats, which were 7 D E F. Emirates operates with 7 seat abreast in Business Class on their Boeing 777s, in a 2-3-2 configuration, so this suited us well so we could sit together.
We had already spent summer holiday in Norway this year (trip report here), and since it is far and expensive to travel there I was just planning on bringing the kids to Hong Kong for Christmas. However, I did put my leave dates into google flights and kept an eye on the price, and when I found some surprisingly cheap tickets with Emirates in business class I decided to bring them to Norway for Christmas, and hopefully see some snow :
And finally the last segment of this holiday, Cebu Pacific Airbus A320 Clark to Hong Kong.
This series of trip report has taken forever to finish, so I will just rush through the last 2 installments to get it over and done with, before my memory is completely gone 😀
Keep on reading!As I have just completed my 2019 review, I am realizing how far behind I am in my collecting of memories of my travels last year, so this year I will really try to speed up the posting.
Although I have been able to complete some of the posts I was planning to, I see that the job ahead of me is quite tremendous, as I am just starting to realize how much time it takes to just make one post. Good thing is that I don’t have a lot of travels planned in the coming month, so I should have some time to try to get up to speed…
