Yes, like the title says, I've done flight way too many times. This will be the 16th time I will be on this flight segment.
Hong Kong will always have a special place in my heart.  It is undoubtedly my favorite city in the world, with amazing skyline, great people, great food, and deep history. 

 I took the double-decker city bus from Hong Kong to the airport.  The trip took about 40 minutes.


Walkway from consolidated city bus station to the terminal.  It was hot and humid!

A vehicle dedicated for Korean Air.

I decided to stop by Terminal 2.


Near the observation tower entrance was a architectural model of the midterminal concourse.

As well as small scale map of HKG showing future expansions.

Checking into my flight.

See that tall guy in the middle? He's Brook Lopez, a NBA star in Brooklyn Nets.

He probably thought I was a creep.  I should've taken a picture with him.

Main Terminal near Ajisen Ramen and McDonald's.

Haneda-bound ANA flight.

Logo-less white B747-400.


My go-to place in the airport: Taiwan Beef Noodle.

Korean Tuna Can company doing advertisement in HKG.


My future flight landing at HKG.






Not too long after, an Asiana flight B747-400C arrived into HKG.  It was carrying my aunt and cousins who happened to be visiting Hong Kong the same day I was flying out.  Had I known earlier, I would've flown out on a later flight.  I was still able to see them through the glass.


Because I was waiting to see my aunt and cousins deplaning from Asiana flight, I was the last one to board my flight to Seoul.
They closed the aircraft door as soon as I boarded.
The departure was a bit delayed, however.  They were a bit late loading all the cargoes into the plane.






















Honey Roasted Peanuts and drinks were handed out.


I chose the guava juice.



The choices were between chicken, beef, or fish.  I chose the fish.

The fish was fried, with sweet and sour sauce, vegetables, and noodles.

A good view of Incheon Bridge.






Terminal 2, due to open in 2017.





Needs to show Hong Kong flag, not Chinese flag, IMO.


Thank you for reading my post!
