I just got off my 13 hour flight to HK, the amenities that they have made the flight pass by SO FAST.

For those of you that are unaware of their kick ass features, I flew with the new planes CX 889 (at least it's new inside)

1. they have A/C plug for my laptop, i watched 4 hours of tv shows

2. they have 20+ latest movies, I can start/stop it whenever i want

3. all the chairs are redesigned, you won't get crushed from the person in front because they want to "lie down"

4. food is decent, plenty of cup noodles for everyone
5. headrest support is fucking awesome, too bad i discovered it in the last 1.5 hours of my flight
6. the pilot left YVR right at 2am, got to hong kong 1 hour early

7. there's also a slot for USB and seems like a LAN cable slot, I asked the flight attendent if internet is available but she didn't know. (anyone knows?)

compared to JAL last year, and even cathay 2 years ago, I have never been so impressed and it didn't feel like 13 hours at all. this is why i stay far far away from Air Canada...

sorry no pictures, my camera was up in the bag storage and didn't feel like grabbing it and bothering others.

that's all.
