Absolutely loathe 4am get ups. I was born AFTER midday. I am positive there is a correlation:p

Good spotting (AFFer) is a good start to a holiday!

We've made it to HKG. QF flight was very pleasant; we got some J champers before departure which was lovely. Row 32 was fantastic and I actually managed a nice nap.

Forgot to take a photo of the main (beef cheeks and mash), but there was a golzeme as a prelanding snack.

After our June trip in Suites/First, we've developed a bit of a reputation for premium travel, but unfortunately we cannot travel up the front all of the time. We'd been hoping to head to Chicago for a white Christmas, and a rather well-timed AA/JAL sale made it possible. First we nabbed flights from TPE through to ORD and back; all in Y :shock: on a combination of AA and JAL. Then we had to work out how on earth to get to Taipei and home again. With a mixture of cash and points, we managed to put together a long but workable trip.

Day 1: MEL-SYD-HKG-TPE (QF to HKG then CX to TPE)
Day 2: TPE-NRT-ORD (JAL then AA)

Then on the home trip
Day 1: ORD-RSW (AA)
Day 2: RSW-DFW-NRT-TPE (AA to NRT, then JAL to TPE)
Day 3: TPE-HKG-SIN-SYD-MEL (CX to SIN, BA to SYD then QF to MEL; this is the only lot in J).

We're in for one heck of an adventure.

Just discovering this TR but oh my it looks painful ;)

I've booked some mistake fares for next year in Y to Asia and really not looking forward to the flights. Will follow this TR to get some long haul Y survival tips :p

Seriously now have great trip and congratulations on the recent good news. Hope you will get white Xmas, hoping for one myself from the other side of the world.
 
We made the most of our time in HKG, sampling five lounges that were available to us. First the QF lounge. First visit and I really liked it; great spaces and I like the large dining tables.

Sat down for a glass of wine and beef brisket noodles which hit the spot nicely after a long flight.

Next up we went to the Cathay Wing J lounge to try out the noodle bar.

Dan Dan noodles were delicious.

Not a huge fan of this lounge; too open and bright for my liking.
 
I really think the word 'brisket' needs to be rethought. It was used back in my childhood and just reminds me of stewed meat and gristle

It's a secondary cut that needs to be cooked long and slow. Then any fat etc should have broken down.
