On 1 October, Emirates started their A380 flight to HKG via BKK, which is the second airlines using A380 to HKG, with this opportunity, I grab a ticket to be the one on this party!
After my Japan trip, I found that all classes was sold for 1 Oct EK385, I call EK’s Hong Kong reservation and waitlisted in the First Class. Two days later, they called me that my waitlist was cleared so I issue the ticket at once!
So let’s start about the trip!
On 1 Oct 2010 18:04, A6-EDM was landing in HKG, hundreds of people waiting her at the end of the runway and in the Skydeck
After parking my car, I arrived aisle G in HKIA
Although the check-in counter was not ready, there were many people queuing for check-in
The line in Business Class was quite long too
Check-in counter finally opened at 19:25
I was the third one to check-in at the First Class counter
After check-in, time for immigration, quiet at this time
After some photos of A6-EDM, head to the lounge for some food
Entrance
There was no more lounge invitation card, all you need is your boarding pass. After the lounge agent scanned my boarding pass, I entered the lounge and found that many people were there already, I even cannot find an empty table for myself!
The staff arranged me to sit in a round table, with three sole travelers. The food offered was really nice, even better than my last visit on May 2009.
When a staff collecting my plates, he said:’ long time no see, how are you?’
Me:’ You remember me?”
Staff:’ Yes!’
Me:’ But it was a long time I haven’t been here.’
Staff:’ 4-5 months, right?’
Me:’ No, it should be more than one year, my last Emirates flight was in May 2009!’
Staff:’ Oh well, then you should use more Emirates, than I can see you more often.’
I really surprise that, and it let me add more points to EK’s service!
Left the lounge, go to Gate 60, a gate with only 2 bridges but next to EK’s lounge
