Check-in done heading to security then Duty Free. There's a renovated connection building between T2A and T2C which is very nice!



Heading to the gate A50 where the plane is parked, couldn't spot the plane it was hidden by the jet bridge.

The CX278 was originally operated by an A340-300, but it was replaced by new 777. 3-3-3 is very comfortable.

Conclusion

A super smooth flight to HK. Cabin crew were nice to passengers, catering was excellent. CX offers 3 hot meal choices for dinner and 2 hot choices for breakfast. Snacks were available in the galley. CX offers some Newspapers and magazine before the boarding, the IFE was super easy to use and offers a large choice of media(movie, music, TV show, game, etc..).

CDG is quite a messed up airport, but renovated area are really nice! Those 4 terminal (T2A,B,C,D), need more shops and services.

Arrived at HKG on time, passport check was very efficient, the airport is very clean, and airport staff really kind!

Thanks for reading me, next review coming soon!

  • Hi!!

    Thanks for sharing this report!

    CDG looks very nice, well it's in Paris, after all. Looks disorganized though...

    I am greatly impressed by the meals and IFE, regional flights are a different story though.

    HKG is a nice airport indeed!

    Thanks again!

    • You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Had a HKG-PEK on CX catering and IFE were almost the same!

    • Hello!

      I really enjoyed it! I really appreciate people who share their experiences with us, whether on youtube or on a blog/website.

      When you go on Southeast asian routes especially Manila and Taipei however, the service is meager and the seats are pretty old, I hope they would be better the next time around :-)

    • Oh I see! CX is actually retiring their old plane like 747 and A340 by 777 and 333! Thanks a lot for that! Hope you'll enjoy upcoming reviews on the channel!

  • Thanks for sharing this report with nice photos. Funny that there are two reports on the same flight in a row. It's good to compare the service in Y vs. J. The cabin looks quite nice and comfortable in the traditional 3-3-3 configuration. It really makes the 3-4-3 config look like a sardine can. The catering looks pretty good.
