I was very much impressed yesterday when I was boarding China Southern plane to Beijing and they offered me free upgrade to the economy premium class. Food is the same in tnis class but you have much more space for the legs and wider seats. Thank you!
6 hours time change. We landed in Beijing at 6 am local time. After immigration and costoms control I was going 2 levels up to check-in for the domestic flight to Chengdu. Elegant Chinese young lady speaking basic English approached me asking which is my flight. Then she went with me to the check in counter and onward to security.
Then she pointed herself saying Moni. – Thank you very much Moni, it was very nice to meet you! -Moni, dollar, euro, pound…
Oh my God! She wants money from me! Is this how it works in communist China?…
Security guys wanted me to drink all water from my bottle. I was just on time for boarding A330 to Chengdu.
Big plane was half empty. Young attendents were very enthusiastic – I got warm breakfast and two Yanjing beers. We were talking about my travel plans and finally we made a picture…
Hazy weather and 25 deg. Celsius in Chengdu…. The driver took us to the Ibis hotel in the center. Is seems he doesn’t know the city – it was not easy to find the way.
So, it is time to rest… Greetings from Sichuan!
