ANKY N KURTIS TRAVEL

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.

由於當天的CX495及CX443也延誤了，我們在3點左右到達辦理登機手續櫃檯也是滿多人的。

Since CX495 and CX443 were also delayed that day, the check-in counter was full of people when we arrived at around 3pm.

拿到登機證及貴賓室邀請卡後，我們就前往安驗及離境了，之後前往國泰航空看營的貴賓室休息及吃到飽。當天的貴賓室有點特別就是看到國泰自己的員工在拍攝及訪問。我們分別點了牛肉麵，魯肉飯，包及燒賣。

After we got our boarding pass and lounge invitation card, we headed to security and immigration, and went to the lounge of Cathay Pacific Airways to take a rest and ate something. The lounge on that day was a bit special because I saw Cathay Pacific’s own employees filming and visiting. We ordered beef noodles, pork rice, steamed buns and shumai.

由於CX421前段是CX420，停留台北時間比較長，所以我們也比登機時間早一點到登機門。當然也是想拍飛機，也因為登機門為B2改B3，貴賓室和登機門也有一點距離。我們也沒估錯，飛機也比原定的登機時間早。

Since CX421 was preceded by CX420, it transit a long time in Taipei, we arrived at the boarding gate a little earlier than the boarding time. Of course, I also wanted to take pictures of the plane, and because the boarding gate was changed from B2 to B3, there was a little distance between the lounge and the boarding gate. We did not guess wrong, the flight was earlier than the scheduled boarding time.

國泰的A321NEO是有2行緊急出口位置，分別於35排及55排。基於安全原因，地勤人員在辦理登機手續時會問你身體有沒有不適，飛機上的空服人員也會問你及教你緊急出口門要注意地方。我們是坐第35排的緊急出口，座位也比較寬。餐桌就藏在扶手內。 

Cathay Pacific's A321NEO has two exit rows which are the rows 35 and 55. For safety reasons, ground staff will ask you about the health when checking in, and flight attendants will also ask you would you assist the passenger if emergency and teach you to pay attention for the emergency exit doors. We took the emergency exit in row 35, and the seats were relatively wide. The dining table is hidden within the armrest.

大家有發現座位是紅色嗎？其實A321NEO是國泰港龍的飛機，但在疫情時已經沒有，所以飛機給了國泰，機旗是國泰的，但座位就是之前的國泰港龍的。商務艙及經濟艙所有座位也有個人電視，充電位置。由於Anky仔是金卡，空服在我登機前就已經在我座位放了毛毯及枕頭。

Have you seen that the seats are red colour ? In fact, A321NEO was a Cathay Dragon aircraft, but it was closed during the epidemic, so the aircraft was given to Cathay Pacific. The flag was Cathay Pacific, but the seats were from Cathay Dragon. All seats in business class and economy class also have personal TVs and charging stations. Since Anky has a gold card, the flight attendant had placed a blanket and pillow in my seat before I boarded the plane.

由於飛機提早登機，航班也是不滿，所以飛機比原定時間提早了推出及起飛。當天的飛行時間是1小時31分鐘。台北的天氣不太好，在登機前就下了一場雨，所以飛機起飛不久也有一點點不穩定。

Since the plane boarded early and the flight was not full, the plane was pushed back and took off earlier than scheduled. The flight time on that day was 1 hour and 31 minutes. It was quite worse weather in Taiepi. It was raining before we boarded the aircraft,so it was some turbulence after took off a few minutes.

過了氣流，上到天空後，空服人員就很快派發飛機餐了。飛機餐是只有一款，國泰在疫情後也是提供熱餐的。而盤上除了飛機餐，也會附上一枝水及餐具。派發飛機餐時，空服會告訴你主餐是甚麼。

After passing through the turbulence and ascending into the sky, the flight attendants quickly distributed the meal service. There was a choice of in-flight meal due to the shortly flying time. Cathay Pacific provides the hot meals after the epidemic. In addition to the meal, there was also a bottle of water and cutlery on the plate. When serving in-flight meals, the flight attendant will tell you what the main meal is.

差不多大部份旅客吃完飛機餐後，空服人員就出來收回大家的餐盤。如果大家要多一枝水，空服人員也早有預備的。飛機最後在18:40左右到達香港，但奇怪的是它並沒有停在12-21號登機門，而是62號登機門，所以我們出去行李帶時，行李已經出來了。

Most of the passengers had finished their meals, the flight attendants came out to collect tray. If everyone needs an extra bottle of water, the flight attendants were already prepared. Finally, the flight landed in Hong Kong around 18:40. I was quite wonder that the flight was not parked the gate 12-21. It parked at gate 62,so we needed to walk a long distance. The check in baggage was in the baggage belt when we arrived the baggage hall.
