Cathay Pacific :: ICN-HKG :: Sep 2012

CX 411 Flight	ICN Seoul Incheon		HKG Hong Kong
Economy Class	1,282 miles		3:35 Flying Time

Our ride arrived from Hong Kong ahead of schedule.  There was a change of equipment from 33B to 330 that featured the oldest cabin products.  This did not come with a surprise as last minute equipment swap is normal practice on Cathay Pacific's regional flights.  On the positive note, most passengers had got an extra seat as a result of the increased capacity of this aircraft.

If you are hoping to sample authentic Korean cuisine on this flight, you may be disappointed.  The meals served on this flight were prepared by Cathay Pacific Catering Services in Hong Kong.  Among the two choices available, one was meant to be a Korean dish yet it did not turn out to be too "Korean."  Instead of a proper dessert, a cookie was served.

Lunch
Appetizer	Seasonal fresh fruits
Main Course	Braised pork with yellow bean sauce and steamed jasmine rice -or- Baked basa in Korean gravy, steamed jasmine rice, sauteed mushroom and big bean sprouts
Dessert	Macadamia short bread cookie
