mex

im going to Hong kong!!

I have used BA a few times for trips to states and would never use them again.

Any tips for HK?

im worried bot chop sticks usage :-(

Practic

e

i don't get all the negative vibes re ba. never had a bad flight myself.

as re hk. just enjoy it. try and go to bars resaurants where the locals go, much more fun than the hotels, and "international" bars

yes I have been for last few days.

TBF im not that bad today but still I thought some places might have had n & F.

I might just take a set out as an emergency lol

ok cheers mex

Im only out there for 6 nights, on the wed we are going Happy Valley race meeting :-)

I flew to HK with them (and back), and they are very good.

happee varrey

ok cheers PUG

was you on economy?

Is seat space decent?

Food and drink?

Also did you do online check in, was the availabilty of extra leg room seats an option free when doing self service check in?

ok cheers PUG

yes we flew economy, there was plenty of leg room. They ply you with a much drink and you need (I would imagine they would put limits on anyone trying to get pi$$ed thou). The food was perfectly reasonalbe for an in flight meal/s. Didnt use the online check in so cant comment on that.
Me and my mum flew out there to visit my brother who lived there for 2 years. Its a fantastic place, I would recommend it to anyone. Happy Valley is amazing, cheap as *****entry fee and a wonderful atmosphere inside.
Also must do's are;
take the peak tram to the summit with views overlooking the harbour
get the Star ferry (at night imo) to Kowloon.
shop in Causeway Bay
visit the Big Buddah statue (on Lantau island)
take the bus to the little village of Stanley on the south of the main island and visit the market... truly amazing.
Enjoy...im jealous...

be brave and try the local food,nothing like the crap we get in the uk.

cheers for that mate

im normally quite tipsy before i get on a flight no matter what time

but cracking

have taken notes of places worthy a visit

thanks again

:-)

how old are u sid?

And don't forget the bl0w j0b in Wanchai :D

why elise?

if its to do with the tipsy comments then i dont need grief over it

i just have a good time thats all

and no blow jobs

and no blow jobs

The flight attendants are Ladyboys.

not that sid, i would know what to rec, i did a bit of time out there

http://www.dragon-i.com.hk/ place where high rollers and ex pats go for food, music etc
www.peelfresco.com does jazz etc
visit the pennisula for afternoon tea
gaylords indan restaurant, best indian i've ever had
search out the antique / flea markets on the island side you can get some real oddball stuff
jumbo floating restaurant, bit of a gimmick and food is avg
if you like wine try the gecko bar
discount shopping centre at the horizon plaza is worth a trip if you're skint or tight
if there for more than 2 weeks try taking a trip on the ferry to macau & gamble

Everytime ive flown with BA ive noticed the interior to be a bit dated on the planes.

Flew with Cathay last year and it was a brand spanking new plane - food was excellent, an airline I would use again.

singapore are better than em all i think esp in economy

Flew with them in 2002 from Amsterdam to Hong Kong, and they were superb (but expensive)

flown with BA on a long haul a few times and despite having old haggered flight attendents, are the best ive flown with. Very good food, inflight entertainment is excellent and service is good.

Cathay Pacific are also quite good and of course, like all asian airlines, have hot air stewardesses.

yes heard about penisula, i was gonna stay there.

Still opted for a 5* star hotel though, but every room is over looking victoria harbour.

Im deffo doing penisula for tea, and also mean one evening.

Im taking my suit out there, Happy valley has a cracking deal, for 60 quid you get entry inyo decent part of RC and can get drink all you want.

Cheers for all your advice. have to admit im looking forward to this trip :-)

OK cheers mate.

I have flown with BA about 6 times now, so 3 return trips. one outward journey was good due to the seats given.

Every other journey has been very bad.

never again.

Cathay seems alright :-)

Went with Cathay to New Zealand and thought they were very good.
