And as for Hong Kong Express, they set expectations clearly, have reasonably priced experience upgrades like legroom and front row seats, offer good food, and I found all the staffers I dealt with very pleasant.

Cheap and cheerful LCC, would recommend. #thatjohnonUO

Once in the air I explored the Hong Kong-forward food options (which the PR folks had preselected for me).

The French toast was tasty, the truffle mushroom pasta very dry and meh, but the shengjianbao (my favorite kind of dumpling!) were brilliant — I’d happily have had another few! #thatjohnonUO

A bus gate for #thatjohnonUO today, which is pleasingly right underneath the exit from security.

No frills, but an adequately sized seating area for demand today, USB A+C outlets, and helpful friendly gate staff. I’ll take it!
