17:48 already knew where you going to hahaha😂
17:47 guessed it here
I was very pregnant and traveling business with them from Shanghai to HK then HK to South Africa, the service from SH to HK was excellent, very helpful and friendly, they helped me carry my backpack and guided me to the gates and lounges. The staff on board were amazing too. BUT from HK to SA… service was horrible, the ground crew didn’t offer help, and the air crew ESPECIALLY the head flight attendant was super unfriendly towards me. I would always ask politely when I wanted to order food and she’d stare at me like I owed her money. I ordered a bowl of noodles and wait around 40 mins then decided to go to the bathroom, when I came back they saw me come back and waited another 10-20 mins before serving it and it wasn’t even warm anymore. Really disappointing especially from the HK side.
This is amazing content.
What I learned from Sony through his videos is that you can be good to people for no reason and it's awesome. Also that there are millions of groups of people in the world and every one of them has their own unique culture, that is very interesting to learn and there is no reason for all of that groups to be identical. In other words different doesn't always mean worse, at least its interesting.
Cathay Pacific was my first favorite Airline 20 years ago. Nowadays it fell off sadly.
Most viewer cant read Chinese, but as soon as you talk about that, you turn yur back and reveals your next destination.
Haha you can see bro was already jet lagged on the plane lol
Melbourne 😂😂😂😂
I think your next destination is Australia:)
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺
it said melbourne on the tv when you got onto the plane
sadness
15:31 shows the name in English as he turns around, lol
MELBOURNE MENTIONED
yhis is massive
Disgusting – so much plastic ( petroleum )
Hi there, it's feeling good to see your this video, cause you just remind me my journey .
Brother Big Fan yo.. Great Vlog 📷🤟
I was wondering what country ends with "ben" or sth similair sounding…. only to realise it was a city 😅😂😂😂😂
Can't say word about the factory Sonny was in, but I worked in similar factory near Heathrow airport in London and let me tell you – it's a sweatshop. You work like a machine to keep up with demand, they did serve staff meals. I assume we were served dishes that couldn't pass quality test since they were most of the time overseasoned and plainly disgusting. Your 'superiors' were just bunch of lazy middle easterns that had ego trips non stop. Fuck those factories. Also – don't eat airplane food.
Sonny secretly flexing 😅 yeah I'm jealous 😂
Stephanie looks beautiful
Another great thing about eating on cathay pacific is they give everyone steel utensils even in economy!
They have to make 800 breakfasts now you want them to make 1000. You’re a real POS.
Excellent video!! Very informative. Thanks
Continuity error @9:05
Honestly, since I'm never going to do it anyway myself, how are there no luxury restaurants in the Air ? Like literally an Airline that flies to the Major Cities around the world serving a unique fine dining expierence ? Flying back and forth just basically an Air-Michelin-Restaurant. Planes built extra with a massive kitchen and shit and all the dumb shit I bet rich people would eat that shit up, literally. Somebody do that and give me 5% 😀 TM !
Wow, this is super cool 👏👏👏👏!
This staff is freaking awesome!
am so fuckiin poor
@20:55 കഞ്ഞി അല്ലേ അത്😂
