Once underway, QF117, A330 service to HKG was excellent. All female cabin crew and for me a good level of attentivness.
'Lunch' was served about an hour after take off ( so abt 5:30pm after the delay.).
Seared tuna starter was well balanced.
Crumbed pork cutlet was large and tasty, but the crumb coating was soft rather than the ideal crunchy, but that was forgivable in flight.
I stuck to water
Another hot snack was offered just prior to descent. Crew came around throughout the flight with chip and biscuit type snacks.
I watched a number of the series 'Genius' about the life of Albert Einstein, which is recommend.
We arrived about 23:15, having had the promised less than scheduled flight time.
Immigration was quick, and my bag was on the carousel when I arrived in Hall B.
So at 23:40 I called the Novotel Citigate at Lantau for their shuttle. 15 mins later and 4 calls later I was thoroughly pissed off, as at no time did anyone at the hotel answer the phone.
I tried reservations ( twice), restaurant and 'other services' options - no dice.
So I had to get some cash from a ATM and then a taxi. Short ride and HKD$50 later I checked in. I'll see later why they don't answer their phones.
