After six days in Tokyo, is time back to the hell. This time, I took the Cloud Nine to Hong kong.
At 1835, I arrived the Terminal 1 for check-in.
The Cloud Nine Check-in counter.
The FIDS show my flight at the top. The flight ET673 which code share with NH5341.
Since I am the Business Class passenger, I can use the gold track for security check.
But the immigration process is same as normal one.

Thanks for the review, I don't see this fifth freedom flight review often.
Thanks for you comment, this fifth freedom flight is very nice indeed.
The return Business Class with taxes is around $700 USD, it is reasonable.
Which can use the lounges in Hong Kong and Tokyo.
That's very good price indeed.
Exactly, this price is attractive and better than Hong Kong Airlines. Just compare with the food, staff and lounge access.
Thanks for the review! The load factor here -- seems the plane was nearly empty?
The load factor was quite low.
Cloud Nine : 10/24
Economy Class : 80/246
just one-third, is really low loading.
Oh, Ethiopian, you and your crazy fifth-freedom routes to and from HKG!
Thanks for this trip report on one of them. Too bad it's the older angle-flat product on this Dreamliner... but not too bad for that length of flight.
Thanks for sharing!
For the older angle-flat product, it is acceptable for this flight. It just near 5 hours from Tokyo to Hong Kong.
This seat is not as good as the inbound one, but other things are fine.
Thanks for the review. Always wanted to try this ET route. Maybe someday. Too bad your flight left from gate 42. That ANA lounge looks like a dungeon. At least the one by gate 56 has a view of the tarmac. But the lounges at Narita aren't the best in the world anyway. Thanks again.
Is really sad that left from Gate 42. The view of ANA lounge is not good which compare with UA's one.
I think the best lounge in the world is Cathay Pacific lounges in Hong Kong. I hope I can visit if I have
jounery with Oneworld flight.
Thank you for sharing this flight experience with us Henrylau1991. It would interest me to fly this route with ET for sure. The novelty of a 5th freedom route with a unique carrier and a great price. Thanks again and happy flying.
It was a interesting flight for me. You should try this route if you have chance.
thanks for sharing this FR on the unsusual route, ET does the job!
ET always does the good job in Hong Kong - Tokyo route.
They provide 46kg luggage allowance to the Economy Class passengers.
That load factor is crazy low! I've taken ET to ADD from both HKG and BKK a few times and they are always packed! Thanks for sharing this report!
Yes, really quite flight for me. For HKG to BKK is always full and they used B767.
