Dated seats and entertainment, but this business class can save you $2000
The airline: Hong Kong Airlines Route Sydney to Hong Kong, flight HX18 Frequency Daily Aircraft Airbus A330-300 Class Business; seat 19C, window Flight time 9 hours, 30 minutes. We arrive 20 minutes behind schedule. Checking in This is the inaugural flight out of Sydney for Hong Kong Airlines, which has previously only flown from the Gold Coast. As such, check-in is fairly slow as new staff are still learning the systems but my own check-in, via the business class lane, is swift. Lounge access is provided for business class passengers at The House, which passengers can also pay to enter if they're not flying business (or flying with a different airline entirely). Baggage In business class it's two pieces of checked luggage up to 32 kilograms each and two items (one larger, one small) for carry-on for a total of 15 kilos. The latter allowance lets me fly with carry-on only luggage for my short trip. Loyalty scheme Fortune Wings Club. The airline is not a member of any of the major alliances, but it does have a partnership with Virgin Australia, meaning Velocity members can earn and redeem points for flights on Hong Kong Airlines' network (excluding flights to North America for some reason).
