Flight to Hong Kong

So my flight to Hong Kong was no where near as nice as last time. Sean and I are unfortunately booked on 4 flights to get here. My trip takes me from Philly> Salt Lake City > San Francisco>Taipei>Hong Kong. The first two legs of the trip are on Delta and are fine. Sean and I meet up in San Francisco since he flew out of Albany. The next two legs are on China Air. Additionally, Sean and I aren't sitting together so I have nobody to talk to which sucks, but I guess is no different than last time when I sat next to William the entire trip. ZING! Actually William slept the entire trip but I couldn't help myself.

So I typically judge an airline by whether or not they still have ashtrays in the armrest. Not only did they have ashtrays but they were big ashtrays. The plane is very dated and doesn't have the sleep pods like North West. By the time I got on the flight to Taipei I was exhausted and slept for about 4 hours. When I awoke I figured I'd watch some in-flight entertainment. To my dissaoppointment, all the good movies are being played on return flights. In addition, I had no control over what I watched. They had 8 channels that just played movies in a loop. I watched Wanted with Angelina Jolie. Sucked. I then watched Death Defying Acts which starred Catherine Zeta Jones and Guy Pearce and was about Harry Houdini. Sucked. I am looking forward to Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder for the ride home.

After the movies I decided to play some video games. The inflight games were Super Nintendo Games from 1993. Agian, giving indication as to how old this plane is. Now for nastaligic sake you may think this is cool, but they had the worst choices of games. Other than Super Mario and Street fighter they sucked. Give me some Tecmo Bowl or RBI baseball please.

Looking at the big picture, the plane got us there safely and with very little turbulance so score one for China Air.
