The view of the airport from the SkyDeck at sunset. Although the polloution is very bad, it made for a nice photo.
Almost ready to go home after a great holiday!
Virgin Atlantic (VS200)
Hong Kong-Sydney
14/11/08
A340-642 – G-VEIL (Queen of The Skies)
Obviously, the night flights don’t have as much to offer but our landing was awesome! As we were on final to RWY16R at Sydney the bad weather really wasn’t so bad after all. We had amazing amounts of moisture off the wing.
There’s a wing there somewhere, I sware.
As we softly touched down on 16R the reversers really put on a show kicking up loads of water as “Etihad 450” from AUH is taxiing back to the gate from the preceding arrival.
In Conclusion:
Aircraft: 9/10 the toilet door was very loud when opened and I was sitting 2 rows from it.
Service: VS201, 10/10 Outstanding flight, best I’ve ever had, cabin crew were very approachable and always there. VS200, 8/10 still good but nowhere near as good as the VS201 flight. Some of the cabin crew were hard to understand and didn’t speak English too well.
Hong Kong Spotting: Locations were hard to find (except deck) but the traffic was amazing!
Hope you enjoyed reading my trip report.
