ANKY N KURTIS TRAVEL

國泰航空雖然有很多香港來往日本的航線，但只有一班日本線使用設有頭等艙的B777-300ER執飛，它就是大家相當熟識的CX548及CX549 香港/東京羽田空港/香港航線。由於頭等艙的票價相當貴，所以大部份人也使用里數兌換機票，Anky仔也不例外。為何Anky仔只換CX549？因為CX548的飛機餐是早餐，加上是早上8點多的航班，對Anky仔來說是太早了，所以Anky仔自行買機票前往東京。

Although Cathay Pacific has operated many routes from Hong Kong to Japan, there is only a route operated by the B777-300ER with first class cabin. It is a very famous and popular flight which is CX548 and CX549 Hong Kong/Tokyo Haneda Airport/Hong Kong. Due to first-class tickets are very expensive, most people use their miles to redeem the tickets,Anky also used miles to redeem before the flight take off two days. Why did Anky redeem CX549 only?It is because the in-flight meal on CX548 was breakfast, and the flight was at 8 a.m., it was too early for Anky, so Anky bought his own ticket to Tokyo.

今天，我們就帶大家看看國泰航空的最新機隊A321NEO飛機吧。這次，我們是坐CX421台北桃園機場前往香港。疫情前的CX420/421是香港/台北/首爾的航班，但由於還沒有恢復的消息，所以現在只有香港/台北/香港。

We will take a look at Cathay Pacific's the latest fleet of A321NEO aircraft. We took CX421 Taipei Taoyuan Airport to Hong Kong this time. Before the epidemic, CX420/421 was a Hong Kong - Taipei - Seoul flight, but since there is no news of recovery, now it just provides Hong Kong/Taipei/Hong Kong routing.

Kurtis上次介紹國泰航空A350-1000的特選經濟艙，而Anky仔今次就介紹一下國泰航空A350-900的特選經濟艙。國泰航空在香港基地的頭等艙、商務艙，鑽石卡，金卡及國泰銀卡，寰宇一家綠寶石及藍寶石辦理登機手續是在B區；而特選經濟艙及經濟艙就在A,C區。

Kurtis introduced the premium economy class of Cathay Pacific A350-1000 last time, and Anky will introduce the premium economy class of Cathay Pacific A350-900 this time. Cathay Pacific's first class, business class, Diamond, Gold and Cathay Silver cards, Oneworld Emerald and Sapphire check-in at the Hong Kong base are in Area B; other Premium Economy Class and Economy Class are in Row A and C.

以前，Anky仔也介紹過香港-台北線是全世界最繁忙的國際航線。而如果你是馬可孛羅會(國泰會員)的話，你可以選擇台灣出發，經香港前往不同的地方，價錢也比香港出發便宜。大家也可以看看阿，特別是東南亞地方。Anky仔再次因為要儲國泰的分，做了一件很久也沒做的事情，就是當天來回香港台北，在台北只有1個半小1時的轉機。

Previously, I've talked about how the Hong Kong - Taipei route is one of the busiest in the world.  If you're Marco Polo Club member (Cathay Pacific) based in Taiwan, you can choose to fly via Hong Kong as that could save you some money, especially to destinations in Southeast Asia.  Since I needed to do a status run, I did a return trip to Taipei, with only a 90-minute layover.

Anky仔在生日月8月又再出發去了一次日本東京，前往東京的飛行記錄就稍後給大家看。這次，就帶大家從橫檳前往東京成田空港再回香港。
In August, I treated myself a trip to Tokyo since it was my birthday.  The flight review for the flight to Tokyo will be available later on.  This time, I'll be showing you my journey from Yokohoma to Tokyo Narita Airport, and then the flught back to Hong Kong.

疫情過後，航空界的復甦也比較慢，只是比疫情其間好了很多。疫情其間，多間航空公司也因沒收入來源，導致倒閉，又或要尋找新投資者，就好像：泰航、勝安航空，香港航空及國泰港龍航空。其實國泰港龍航空的飛機去了哪裡，大家又知道嗎？國泰港龍航空的機隊就只有空中巴士的A320，A321及A330-300飛機。在疫情前，他們亦訂了A321NEO。其實，大家有可能已經坐過了~

2023年轉眼間過了一半了，不知道大家有否去旅遊呢？如果你去日本東京，又有否坐過或希望能坐到以下的航班？因為這班飛機香港人非常愛，時間好又是飛羽田機場，所以價格會比其他航班貴。Anky仔就坐了回程CX549羽田機場回香港。給大家一個資訊，CX548是CX549的上程航班，但CX548是派發早餐的，飛機是使用4艙位的B777-300ER飛機，即是有頭等艙，商務艙，特選經濟艙及經濟艙。Anky仔就坐商務艙，而且坐的是25K座位，是第二區的主艙位置。
More than half of 2023 have passed in a blink of eye.  Have any of you travelled?  If you've been to Tokyo, did you have the chance to be on this flight?  This flight is loved by many travellers in Hong Kong since it arrives into Tokyo Haneda and consequently it is priced higher than other flights.  For your information, CX548 is the flight before CX549, where breakfast is served.  It is also operated by a 4-class 777-300ER, meaning that there are first class, business class, premium economy and economy cabins.  I had the privilege to fly in business at seat 25K, which is the second business cabin.

在疫情前，Anky仔以前就好喜歡從香港飛往台北的。大家也知道以前就只有國泰航空，國泰港龍航空，長榮航空，香港航空及中華航空幾間公司執飛。大家不多不少應該也坐過吧。現在的港台線還加了香港快運及大灣區航空 。這次，Anky仔先帶大家去看看國泰航空台北回香港的航線吧。Anky仔就覺得服務變差了，大家也看看吧。

Taipei was my favourite destination before COVID.  As you may've already known, only a handful of airlines operate this route, namely Cathay Pacific, Cathay Dragon, EVA Airways, Hong Kong Airlines and China Airlines.  At present, 2 new airlines have joined the fierce competition, and they are Hong Kong Express and Greater Bay Area Airlines.

不知道大家在疫情尾聲到現在有沒有出國旅行呢？雖然現在還沒回復疫情前的水平，但我們香港人已經不斷出發去其他國家了，就好像Anky仔已經飛了4-5次了。而今次的航程也因為大量旅客前往這國家，所以也有很多航空公司在飛或加班了。泰國曼谷一直也是香港人其中一個熱愛的旅遊勝地，所以香港去曼谷現在也有多間航空公司在飛了，包括有國泰航空，香港航空，香港快運，泰國國際航空，阿聯酋航空，荷蘭皇家航空，埃塞俄比亞航空等等。

Have you been travelling since the end of the pandemic?  Travel demand has been ramping up in Hong Kong and I'm one of those who can't wait to set my foot in another country again.  Our destination - Bangkok, is one of the popular places for those in Hong Kong and services to Bangkok have increased to meet the returning demand.  Airlines that serve this route include Hong Kong Airlines, Hong Kong Express, Thai Airways, Emirates, KLM and Ethiopian Airlines etc.

B767的飛機已愈來愈少看到，現在有飛B767飛機的已不太多。相信香港人或台灣人會有比較大機會坐的應該也是日本的航空公司吧，就好像Anky仔，這次坐了日本航空的B767-300國內線由廣島前往東京羽田空港。現在的日本航空國內飛機因多了A350-900及B787-8的加入，所以有頭等艙的B767也飛多了不同的日本國內地方。大家也可以試試，不竟價格也不是太過貴。
Boeing 767s are indeed a rare sight now, since not many airlines fly them nowadays.  Chances are, for those based in Taiwan or Hong Kong, you'll more likely be flying on one if you're flying with Japan Airlines.  I had this golden opportunity to fly on the 767-300 from Hiroshima and Tokyo Haneda.  With the addition of A350-900s and 787-8s into the airlines' fleet, the 767s that are equipped with first class cabin have increased its presence in the domestic market.  Since domestic first class is priced rather reasonably, you might want to consider trying it.

Anky仔在剛剛過去的6月飛了一轉大阪。雖然去程被換成B777-300區域性航班，但是回程卻付我充滿驚喜，也是一班非常歡樂的航班。不知道大家還記不記得Anky仔曾介紹CX543的特別地方呢？為什麼提起了CX543？因為以下介紹的航班也是看起沒特別，其實只是你不知道而已。
In the past June, I went to Osaka.  Although there was an equipment swap to a regionally-configured 777-300, the flight was full of surprises and joy.  Do you recall what was special about CX543?  Why am I bringing up this very flight?  This is because there are things that you do not know about.

大家還記得疫情前執飛的香港吉隆坡航線有哪幾間航空公司嗎？國泰港龍航空在疫情前每天4班航班，亞洲航空每天3-4班，馬來西亞航空公司每天3班來往香港吉隆坡的，但疫情後大家又知道有誰執飛香港吉隆坡線嗎？

Do you recall how many airlines fly between Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur before the pandemic?  Cathay Dragon used to have 4 daily flights, 3-4 for AirAsia and 3 for Malaysia Airlines.  Now, do you know which airlines are still serving this route?

在疫情前，Anky仔很少去韓國的，但在疫情後，國泰航空從首爾仁川機場出發的航班全有特價，所以我們也去了一次南韓 【上一次的飛行就是前往首爾的大韓航空】。今次，我們坐的是CX419，它是前一天的CX418到達的，飛機也使用了國泰的新機隊 -- A350。國泰航空在仁川機場是使用第一航廈的，大家不要去了第二航廈了。

I seldom visited Korea before the pandemic.  However, since Cathay Pacific introduced promotions to Seoul, I chose to visit again (I flew with Korean Air last time).  This time, I'll be flying on CX419.  The incoming flight was CX418.  The relatively new A350 was used on this route.  Cathay Pacific uses terminal 1 at Incheon Seoul Airport, be sure to head to the correct terminal.

日本的航空公司以前是使用波音飛機比較多，但現在不論日本航空或是全日空也開始使用空中巴士執飛。前者則使用A350-900執飛國內熱門線路，後者使用A380執飛日本-美國檀香山，A321及A320 Neo執飛國內及國際線，這也是一個很大的改變。今天，就等我們帶你去看看日本航空A350-900的國內線頭等艙吧。

Japanese airlines tended to use Boeing aircaft.  However, both major Japanese carriers - JAL and ANA, have been expanding their Airbus fleet.  The former uses the A350-900 for popular domestic routes; while the latter uses the A380s exclusively for flights to Honolulu, the A321 and A320 NEOs for both domestic and international routes.  This is indeed quite a change.  Today, I'll take you on a journey in domestic first class on JAL's A350-900.

疫情過後，Anky仔先去了泰國，再去馬來西亞，現在就在馬來西亞航空MH88前往Anky仔最愛的地方--日本。馬航現在只有3條航線來往馬來西亞及日本。一班是Anky仔會坐的MH88 吉隆坡-東京成田機場；一班是MH36 吉隆坡-東京羽田機場；最後一班是MH52 吉隆坡-大阪關西機場。而同屬寰宇一家的日本航空就每天一班吉隆坡來往東京成田機場。

Since the end of the pandemic, I first visited Thailand, followed by Malaysia; and now my favourite destination - Japan.  At the moment of writing, Malaysia Airlines is only serving 3 routes between Malaysia and Japan.  I'll be flying on one of them - MH88, which connects Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo Narita, with the other 2 being MH36 (Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo Haneda) and MH52 (Kuala Lumpur to Osaka Kansai).  Japan Airlines, a member of Oneworld (which Malaysia Airlines also belongs to), flies once daily between Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo Narita.

Anky仔今天介紹很久沒介紹的國泰航空。這次是介紹的是由香港前往東京羽田機場的CX542航班。飛機是使用3艙等的B777-300ER。CX542好像在5月就會改回使用B777-300飛機執飛，所以大家要坐的話就要趕快坐了。Anky仔是在2023年2月13日乘坐的，當天是用一架大約7歲的B-HNR執飛。登機門是41號。

In this review, we'll be having a look at an airline that I haven't reviewed in a while - Cathay Pacific.  I'll be taking a journey from Hong Kong to Tokyo Haneda onboard CX542.  This flight was flown by a 3-class 777-300ER, which would be switched back to the 777-300 in May.  The aircraft used was a 7-year-old B-HNR.  The flight boarded from gate 41.

又到了ANKY仔和KURTIS介紹飛行記錄的時間了。今天,我們會繼續介紹國泰航空的特別線,而這次幸運兒就是: CX712

It's time for ANKY and KURTIS to introduce flight review again.We will continue to introduce the special route of Cathay Pacific today, and the lucky flight was CX712 this time.

今天,ANKY再次介紹卡塔爾航空(卡達航空)的波音777-300ER的QSUITE航班。這次飛行日期是2019年2月的時間。我也會跟大家說QR816和QR818的航班,服務有甚麼不同

Today, ANKY introduces Qatar Airways (Qatar Airways) Boeing 777-300ER QSUITE flights again. The flight date was February 2019. I would also tell you what was the difference between QR816 and QR818 flights.

今天,ANKY仔和KURTIS繼續介紹一下香港日本線的航空公司。日本航空在疫情前每天會有兩班航班來回香港和日本東京,早上的一班是由B787或B767執飛的JL736香港前往東京成田機場,而去香港的航班就是下午5點多6點的JL735;另一班就是JL026/JL029 東京羽田機場/香港/羽田機場,它就用國際線SKY SUITE的B777-200ER。但由於疫情關係,當時的JL26/29已經是改飛了B787飛機了

ANKY and KURTIS continue to introduce Hong Kong-Japan airlines today. Before the epidemic, Japan Airlines would operate two flights to and from Hong Kong and Tokyo, Japan. The morning flight is JL736 from B787 or B767 to Tokyo Narita Airport, and the flight to Hong Kong was JL735 which departed at 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock in the afternoon. ; The other was JL026/JL029 Tokyo Haneda Airport/Hong Kong/Haneda Airport, it operated the B777-200ER of the international line SKY SUITE. However, due to the epidemic situation, the JL26/29 at the time was already changed to fly the B787 aircraft.

ANKY仔之前就介紹過國泰航空的CX279早上A350飛機去巴黎。今天,我們就介紹回香港的航班。其實,國泰航空的CX279不是每個月也有的,它只出現在冬令時間(9月到3月),而且每星期只有2至3班而已。反而,每一天也有飛的航班是出現在凌晨飛機的CX261,而且它是執飛有頭等艙的B777-300ER飛機阿~~所以,我們回程就坐了CX260由巴黎回香港了

ANKY introduced Cathay Pacific’s CX279 and A350 aircraft to Paris in the morning. Today, we will introduce the flight back to Hong Kong. In fact, Cathay Pacific’s CX279 is not available every month, it only appears during winter schedule time (September to March), and there are only 2 to 3 flights per week.There is a daily flight which is CX261 of the early morning aircraft, and it is a B777-300ER aircraft with first-class cabin~~ So, we took the CX260 on the return trip from Paris to Hong Kong.
