Review of Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur in Economy

Transit in HKG
Upon disembarkation from CX421, we followed the signs to the designated transfer point, went through another round of security and boarding pass check, and then we were back in the departure level of HKIA.
With close to 2 hours until the next scheduled departure time, we took a leisurely stroll to our designated gate. I was getting more and more anxious as we approached the gate, fearing a last minute equipment swap would dash my hope of flying the A343 for possibly the last time. I felt relief when the unmistakably engine of the A343 was spotted when we reached the gate. At least now I could relax, sit down and do some spotting to pass time.

Cathay B744 is so near yet so far for me

Boarding & Flight
Boarding was called as we drew nearer to scheduled departure time, as we finally settled down in our seats, our first window seat of this journey.
B-HXF will carry us to KUL

We were pushed back slightly later than scheduled departure time, and slowly made our way to the active runway.

The A343 has been consistently ridiculed for its hairdryer engine, but I felt the takeoff roll was just as powerful as any other aircraft model. Perhaps it was just my sentimental feeling towards the A343 that anything and everything associated with it was just great.
Take off

A drink service was performed first, then followed by dinner service.

The rest of time was spent watching a couple of movies on StudioCX.
Very soon the sun set and we were on descent to KLIA.

We touched down at KLIA slightly late than schedule, and thus concluded our journey.
