前序 Introduction
3月旅行後,事隔3個多月,Anky仔又再一次出發前往日本。如果你之前有看我們的飛行記錄,你就會知道Anky仔有多喜歡日本了~~哈哈~
After more than 3 months, Anky left Hong Kong again and traveled to Japan again. If you have been readiny my flight reviews , you would know how much Anky likes Japan and the Japanese. Haha~
這次的日本之旅非常特別因為Anky仔會帶著一些第一次去日本的朋友。有些去過日本的朋友和我也計劃了很多行程。我希望可以在短時間內在這裡跟大家分享~如果大家想看就告訴我們吧!!
This was a wonderful and exciting trip because I needed to bring my friend who travelled to Japan for this first time. My friend and I planned a lot of journeys and attractions. I hope I could share it in a short time.
國泰航空以香港為家,所以Anky仔會經常選乘它為第一選擇前往不同地方。雖然我們也知道國泰航空在疫情下把每班航班的機組人員也減了一名,這令空服人員工作大增及做得很辛苦。當Anky仔非常苦惱機票的時候,國泰的商務艙就做優惠了,大約8000港幣來回(可以選早航班去,晚上飛機回),是平常的半價阿~~我就買了6月11日的CX506,當時機型是顯示B777-300ER的(代表是長途飛機的B777-300ER,但最後國泰在5月的時候改了B777-300飛機執飛,也代表是由1-2-1的商務艙改至2-3-2的商務艙了,哭哭)
Cathay Pacific is based in Hong Kong, that's why I will always choose it as my first choice although it is always short-staffed ,I know the crew work so hard . When I bought the ticket, there was a promotion and a round trip Business Class can be had for 8,000HKD. You could choose a morning departure and an evening flight back. I chose CX506 departing on 11Jun, which was meant to be opereated by a B777-300ER (77K/ a long haul configurated aircraft). However, Cathay changed the equipment in May. It was instead operated by a B777-300, which means Business Class had been downgraded from a 1-2-1 configuration to 2-3-2.
國泰航空在香港有3號商務貴賓室(玉衡堂,寰宇堂及玲瓏堂)。你更可使用澳洲航空的貴賓室,因為它也是寰宇一家的成員。由於我們的飛機是在42號登機門,所以我們也選擇了65號登機門的玉衡堂,當天執飛的CX506是一架已經有17歲的B777-300 (B-HNQ)。
In Hong Kong International Airport, there are 3 CX- operated Business Class lounges (The Pier, The Wing and The Deck).Qantas, an Oneworld member airline, also has its Business Class lounge here. If you’re flying with any Oneworld airline in an eligible cabin class or are an elite member, then you’ll be eligible to use this lounge. Since the flight boarded from gate 42, we went to The Pier, which is located gate 65. Our aircraft was a 17-year-old B777-300 (B-HNQ) at the time of writing.
雖然CX506的起飛時間是10:20,登機時間是09:40,但不知道為什麼最後10:05才開始登機。
The time of departure was 10:20 am and the boarding time was 09:40am. However, I had no idea why we boarded at 10:05 am.
登機 Boarding
枕頭,毛毯在你登機前已經放在你的座位上。但不知道為什麼竟然沒有餐牌提供,所以空服問我有沒有看過菜單的時間,我非常驚訝及不斷尋找。
Before you board the aircraft, pillow and blanket were placed in your seat. However, I did not quite understand why did the menu was not given. The crew asked me if I had the chance to have a look at the menu, I felt slightly confused.
我的座位是第一排靠過道的座位(座位:11D)。 與其他商務艙座位略有不同,即 USB 端口和設施位置似乎有所不同。 降噪音耳機和安全卡位於您的座位前面。 您旁邊會有人坐的,因為這是區域商務艙,配置與豪華經濟艙類似。
My seat is an aisle seat in the first row(Seat:11D). There is a minor difference with other Business Class seat and that is the USB port and amenities locations seem to differ. Noise-cancellation headphones and the safety card are located in front of your seat. Your neighbour will be seated directly next to you since this is a regional business class, configured similarly to premium economy.
大部分商務艙乘客登機後,機組人員提供歡迎飲品並發放熱毛巾。 機上服務經理也向鑽石卡會員致意。 機長也歡迎我們登機,並向我們介紹了一些有關航班的信息,例如到達時間、飛行時間以及沿途和目的地的天氣。 我們的飛行時間為2小時59分鐘,由於台灣附近有颱風,天氣非常惡劣。 空服人員在關門前為我們點餐。 飛機離開機位及到指定跑道的時間很長。 最終,航班於上午11點18分起飛。
After most of Business Class passengers boarded the aircraft, the crew served welcome drinks and gave out hot towels. The Inflight Service Manager also greetedDiamond members. The captain welcomed us onboard and also made a briefing giving us some information about the flight such as arrival time, flight duration and the weather along our route and the destination as well. Our flight time was 2 hrs and 59 mins, and the weather was quite bad due to the typhoon near Taiwan. The Cabin Crew took our meal orders before the door closed. There was a long wait for pushback. Finally, the flight departed at 11:18am.
由於這是一次三小時的飛行,國泰航空為我們提供了全套餐飲服務。 不過,機組人員並沒有分發堅果和飲料。 我們到達巡航高度後不久,他們立即為我們提供了前菜。 前菜是海鮮沙拉和日本麵。 我點了國泰的招牌飲料——Cathay Delight。
Since this was a three-hour flight, CX provided us a full meal service. However, the crew did not distribute the nuts and drinks. Not long after we reached cruising altitude,, they served us starters immediately. The starter was seafood salad and Japanese noodles. I ordered the CX signature drink - Cathay Delight.
前菜後,主菜就上來了。 這次飛往日本的航班有三種選擇,一是港式,二是西式,最後是日式。 最後我選擇了日餐,飲料也從國泰特飲換成了橙汁。
After the starter, main course was served. There were three choices - one was Hong Kong style, the other was western style and finally Japanese style for this flight to Japan. In the end, I chose the Japanese meal and changed the beverage from Cathay Delight to Orange Juice.
最後,空服人員會問你是否想要水果、芝士和甜點(冰淇淋)和熱飲。 我不喜歡芝士,所以我選擇了水果和冰淇淋以及日本綠茶。
Finally, the crew would ask if you wanted the fruits, cheese and dessert (Ice cream) and hot drinks. I dislike cheese so I went with fruits and Ice cream with Japanese green tea.
吃完餐後,距離抵達大阪關西機場還有1個小時。 一些乘客醒來後,機組人員為他們提供了飛機餐服務。 我卻從窗戶看到美麗的藍天。 總飛行時間為2小時59分鐘。 我們出發晚了,但在空中的時間比平常快了,最終也是準時到達。
我和朋友下了飛機,通過了移民局和海關。 然後我們需要排隊等待購買去京都的JR通票。 我們乘坐JR Haruka特急去京都,時間大約需要1小時30分鐘。 不幸的是,最快離開的列車已經賣完了,所以我們需要購買下一趟車。
最後,我們到達了溫泉酒店雄琴溫泉琵琶湖綠水亭。 我們的房間的景色很壯觀而且房間很大。 我們住了 3 晚,包括晚餐、早餐和免費飲料(下午茶時間)。
After the meal service, there was 1 hour left before we arrived in Osaka Kansai Airport. Some passengers woke up and the crew served the meals to them. I saw the beautiful blue sky from the window. The total flight time was 2hrs and 59 mins. We departed late but made the time up in the air, leading to an on-time arrival.
My friend and I disembarked the aircraft and passed the immigration and customs. Then we needed to line up and waited to purchase our JR pass to Kyoto. We took The JR Haruka Limited Express which took around 1hr and 30mins. It was unfortunate that it was sold out for the first train, so we needed to buy the next one instead.
Finally, we arrived at our onsen hotel Ogoto Onsen Biwako Ryokusuitei. The views of my room were spectacular and the room was very large. We stayed for 3 nights and it included dinner, breakfast and free drinks (tea time).
