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.
貴賓室 Lounge
羽田機場國際線全使用第三航廈，但好像全日空未來會使用第二航廈辦理國際線手續及登機。國泰航空是寰宇一家的成員，故此，你是金卡會員或商務艙以上，你可選擇使用國泰航空的自營貴賓室或是日本航空的貴賓室，Anky仔兩個也去了，感覺很不一樣。
All international flights depart from terminal 3 at Tokyo Haneda airport, though it seems that ANA would be using terminal 2 in the future instead. Since Cathay Pacific is a member of the Oneworld alliance, Gold members or those flying in Business or above are eligible to use the Cathay Pacific lounge of JAL lounge. I've been to both and they feel different.
國泰的貴賓室食物就比較有香港風味，可以讓香港人沒回到香港就食回家鄉食物；座位及空間感也是比日本航空的貴賓室好，但日航貴賓室就可以洗澡，國泰就沒有淋浴間。
The Cathay Pacific lounge has more of a Hong Kong vibe, which could help cure the homesick of those who've been away for a while. It also feels more spacious than the JAL's lounge. Unlike the JAL lounge, the Cathay lounge does not have showering rooms.
2間貴賓室位置也是在同一個位置，只是樓層不一樣。日本航空在國泰航空的下一層，所以Anky仔也建議大家可以去2個貴賓室。
Both lounges are actually at the same location, though they're on different floors - wth the JAL lounge located below CX's. Due to their proximity, I'd suggest visiting both.
- 日本航空的貴賓室餐食
- JAL's lounge catering
- 國泰航空在羽田機場的自營貴賓室
- Cathay Pacific's lounge
登機門 Boarding Gate
由於航班是國際航班，所以登機門也是在第三航廈，而第三航廈的登機門就是1XX的。
Since this is an international flight, our flight departed from terminal 3. The gates are all numbered 1XX.
登機後及座位 After Boarding and Seats
Anky仔跟以前沒分別，也是選了25K。大家知道為什麼我選右邊靠窗嗎？等一下大家就知道原因了。
Like I previously did, I allocated myself seat 25K. Can you guess why I chose the right side of the aircraft? You'll find out later.
CX549是由有頭等的B777-300ER執飛的，所以15-26排是屬於商務艙的第二區(也是主要區域)，而你喜歡看著GE的大引擎的話，我們建議你坐20AK,21AK,22AK,23AK,25AK及26AK，24AK就因為少了一個窗戶，所以我們不太建議你坐。
CX549 is operated by a first-class-configured 777-300ER, so rows 15 - 26 belong to the main business cabin. If you're a fan of the GE-90 engines, I'd suggest to choose either window seat (A or K) between rows 20 and 26. Since row 24 lacks a window, I'd sugges to stay away from it.
當天的商務艙是全滿，所以空服人員也比較忙。歡迎飲料及熱毛巾也等了一段時間才有。
Since the business cabin was entirely full and the crew were busy, I waited for quite a while before my welome drink and hot towel were given.
餐單就已經在桌子上，餐單內設有3種主餐(香港風情、西餐及日式餐)及大量飲料提供。空服人員會在起飛前為旅客點餐。大家不要忘記雖然CX549是黃金飛機，但飛機餐還是由香港帶過去的，所以期望不要太大了。哈哈
The menu was placed on the table before boarding, which features 3 main dishes - Hong Kong style, Western and Japanese. Your orders will be taken before takeoff. Although CX549 is a popular flight, the meals were loaded in Hong Kong, so do not have your expectations high.
滑行及起飛 Taxi and Takeoff
飛機在15:55關閉艙門，然後就後退前往05跑道起飛。從第三航廈滑行到05跑道需要大約15-20分鐘。當中要穿越一條用來降落的跑道。飛機起飛後大約5分鐘，就是Anky仔要解釋選右邊的位置原因了，大家看看下圖:
The cabin door was closed at 15:55, after which we taxiied to runway 05 for takeoff. The taxi from terminal 3 to runway 05 took about 15 to 20 minutes, which took us across one of the runways. If you have a look at the photo below, which was taken 5 minutes after takeoff, you'll see why I chose to sit at the right side of the aircraft:
沒錯就是富士山了。好像除了香港線，台灣線好像也可以看到它的。國泰機長會廣播通知旅客的，所以大家不用擔心，只是坐左邊的可能看不到而已。
You've guessed it right, this is Mount Fuji. You'll have this view if your departure route takes you to the southwesterly direction of Tokyo Haneda airport. You would not have to worry about missing this view as the pilot would generally announce it to the passengers, though those who seated on the left would not see it.
飛機餐 Flight Meal
CX549是一班飛行時間多於3小時的航班，所以正餐時間是全式服務。飛機餐會在起飛了大約45-50分鐘，空服人員會先幫你打開餐桌及鋪餐桌。其後會送上花生及飲料。Anky仔就要了一杯白酒配花生。
Since the flight time of CX549 is longer than 3 hours, you'll receive a full meal service. The meal would be served 45 - 50 minutes after takeoff, and you'll be first served some peanuts and a drink. I went for the white wine to pair with the peanuts.
由於當天的CX549商務艙全滿，所以空服人員派發前菜是使用餐車推出餐盤。上前菜的時間，Anky仔曾有期望，但無情的機組人員放下餐盤後，令我更加失望。大家看看有甚麼問題吧~
Since it was a full flight, the crew used a meal trolley to serve the meals. I was a bit disappointed in their attention to detail while appetiser was being served as I found the following issues:
大家看到嗎?? Did you notice?
- 前菜的旁邊有一個膠也沒有拿走就已經送上去了......
1. The plastic container next to the appetiser was not cleared - 白酒沒了，也沒有問要不要多一杯或是收走杯子。
2. The white wine was finished but I was not asked if I wanted a refill or if the glass could be taken away
Anky仔只好自己拿開這個膠，另一個艙務長看到就有問白酒還需不需要......看得出來，那位空服人員是新的也好驚，希望她努力了。我並沒說甚麼，但其後的服務則由男艙務長負責，包括，派發麵包，主餐及水果冰淇淋等等。
I had to take away the plastic container on my own, though the chief cabin manager did notice my empty wine glass and asked if it needed to be refilled. The other crew was probably new, I hope she's done her best. I did not bring the issues up to the male cabin manager but the subsequent services were provided by him.
飛機餐過後，也表示日落的時間也差不多，看看窗戶，又是一大美景。Anky看著這風景，想著若果有人一起分享，是多麼浪漫阿~~
The sun began to set after meal service concluded. I wish I could be sharing this stunning view with someone.
再聽著香港歌手/樂組的歌曲，就更加有感覺，包括：Dear Jane的人類不宜飛行、銀河修理員；林家謙的一人之境，下一位前度、在空中的這一秒；C allstar的留下來的人等等。
Listening to some Cantopop, such as Dear Jane, Terence Lam and C allstar, added to this romantic vibe even more.
降落 Landing
飛機使用07R降落香港國際機場，由於第三跑道和航廈距離比較遠，所以滑行時間也比較長，我們再次建議如果大家是需要轉機的，請盡量選長一點的轉機時間的航班了。飛機最後因為早起飛的關係，所以也早了20-30分鐘到達1號登機門。
We landed at runway 07R and arrived at gate 1 20 - 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. Due to the distance between the 3rd runway and the terminal, a lengthy taxi time is expected. Therefore, I suggest that those who have a connection here to leave yourself some more time to buffer.
