Flight Duration 3:50
Aircraft: B777-300
Third time to Hong Kong! The reason for today's flight was another scheduled visit to Hong Kong for internship before heading back to USA. The flight was KE 603, which I have taken a month before with B747-400 Combi (Trip Report here). Today's flight would be with B777-300 (not ER), which had been retrofitted recently to have AVOD system in all seats. The flight was scheduled to depart at 8:30AM, arriving into Hong Kong at 11:20AM after nearly 4-hour flight.
홍콩에 세번째로 갑니다. 이번에도 일이 있어서 미국에 돌아가긴전에 들렸다 갑니다. 오늘의 비행기 편명은 KE 603, 한달전에 B747-400 콤비와 함께한 비행이였죠 (지난달 KE 603 B747-400 콤비 탑승기)
오늘의 비행기는 B777-300 (B777-300ER 는 아니고요)로서 모든 좌석에 AVOD 가 장착 되 있었습니다. 지난달의 KE 603편과 동일하게 아침 8시 반에 출발하여 4시간 비행뒤 홍콩에 11시 쯤에 도착하는 비행이었습니다.
This Korean Air B777-300 was recently repainted so that the Korean Air font looks bigger. I think it looks great on the plane! I'm loving it.
The interior of the plane with new AVOD systems.
To the left of me was a Korean Air B777-200 plane which just came in from Denpasar, Bali
A very clean looking interior before everyone comes in.
The plane was heading toward Hong Kong in no time.
Windows of this plane was showing age. It definitely needed some replacement.
For the meal I chose Korean style chicken. For the side dish it was turkey salad.
And the plane arrived into Hong Kong airspace in no time.
Some scenes of Hong Kong. You can see the newly built Stone Cutter's Bridge to the center-right. Around this time, the plane began shaking unexpectedly. The flight attendants weren't even seated yet. I swear the plane dropped about good 100 ft at one point. I was a bit scared at the time, since the plane was so close the ground.
The arrivals floor of Hong Kong Airport.

After you exit the terminal, turn right at this point before entering the MTR station. This would lead you to city buses terminal.
This bus is a Hong Kong Island-bound bus A21.
My first time aboard a double-decker bus! I hadn't had a chance to ride this last year.
Typical Hong Kong bakery.
First time seeing Hong Kong city from Tsim Sha Tsui in daylight.
Unfortunately I lost my camera after this point so I did not take pictures of my return flight to Korea and KE 39 flight from Seoul/Incheon to Chicago/O'Hare.
Thank you for reading my trip report nonetheless!
