TRIPREPORT | Hong Kong Airlines (ECONOMY) | Hong Kong - Los Angeles | Airbus A350-900

[@hkairlines]

Thank you for featuring us and the food looks delicious! We look forward to flying with you again in the near future (probably a different route! :p)!

[@TypicalMan]

It looks like an amazing flight! The A350 is wonderful.

[@smallwhiteaviation]

HX!!!!!!!!!! The BEST airlines i have flown

[@TheTraveler23]

Omg it’s Hong Kong airlines

[@GracemarieJohnson2763]

😮 Holy sh** it's the airline's actual channel!

[@bottlebaby]

I can't understand how anyone can love the A350 aircraft ? Flown the A340 which was similar to the comfort of the B747 except the new airline model is now 2 engine planes and so the A340 vanished into the ether and the A330 went into short to medium-haul service. Even after HKAirlines provided me with a free upgrade, I still found the seat cushion hard and uncomfortable. Seems all A350's have the same general seat and this vlogger's own legroom test proved the legroom is dismal. So hard seats, cheap seat fabric and no legroom I don't get it??

[@juliecasey5196]

It great to see airlines acknowledging the great work you do. Well done.

[@chorlauheung4920]

That's the feeling I get when I arrive at LAX, and finally back home in Los Angeles. It's definitely a long flight from Hong Kong to L.A. But, worth it!

[@GenkisTravels]

They just announced ending all US flights (or at least the LAX one). Shame, wanted to fly them. :(

[@tempest8573]

why?

[@罗皓文-x9e]

Tempest Mainly because of financial issue. They face financial problem due to excessive expansion. Cathay controls the most business passengers resources. HX need sell ticket with very low price and they never get profits from long haul routes previously. Besides, recent Hong Kong issue hurt them badly. Demand cannot support their keep long haul flight.

[@tempest8573]

@@罗皓文-x9e Thanks had no clue why'd they do that but now I know.

[@shahimagesyt]

@Gibbs1966 no its actually competition. If it were that, then no Chinese airline would be coming here.

[@shahimagesyt]

Yeah it's all of them, SFO & LAX. Now they will be ending YVR soon

[@老王-d5d]

Great video David, keep the good work going. HNA is great, so sad that HK airline sold the HK Express to Cathay and now scaled back, lacking competition in HK is always bad to customers. The Chinese dish is Rice Cake with sauce, and lotus leaf packed rice and pork, classic HK dim sum, hope you enjoy!

[@craigwillis3372]

Loved the take off vision...and well worth the extra $$ for the view !! Thanks David as always a solid review of what looked like a pretty good flight with HK Airlines. Well done again mate !!

[@shahimagesyt]

RIP HK Airlines to SFO & LAX. I'm glad I could see them before their departure.

[@redcar9949]

That breakfast dish looks delicious. I cannot quite tell what the dish on the left half of the main course was, but the right half is something very familiar to me. It's called a Lo Mai Gai and it is sticky rice with a filling of ground chicken wrapped in a large leaf, usually a lotus or banana leaf. The English name is from Cantonese and it is often eaten as a dimsum dish.

[@yukwahchu337]

The dish on the left is plain "cheung fun" 肠粉/腸粉 steamed rice rolls with sauce (most likely hoisin) and green onions on top.

[@dianeschroeder3980]

I bet this airline checked off all the boxes on your expectation list except for legroom. Lol! Awesome trip report David!❤️👍✈️

[@canto_v12]

Same with Cathay, ugh. Terrible for anyone over 6'.

[@GracemarieJohnson2763]

​@@canto_v12 Thank God I'm 4'11 (yup, I'm pretty dang short.)

[@danho4761]

The breakfast looks to be some rolled rice noodles or Cheung fun with a sticky rice dumpling next to it.

[@GracemarieJohnson2763]

That sounds delicious 😋

[@CS_22]

Great choice of film during breakfast. Crazy Rich Asians is fantastic. I do think that Hong Kong Airlines looks good, and would like to try them some point in the future.

Cathay Pacific ticket is always more expensive than Hong Kong Airlines right? I've never seen Cathay offering a better price than Hong Kong Airlines. But still, imo, Hong Kong Airlines still offer better services in a lower price! Its a shame they face some financial problems.

[@odzergaming]

[@chrisfeleciano-ws1ze]

Hong Kong is truly a QUEEN OF THE SKIES type of airport...lol 747 heaven around their...

[@canto_v12]

Quite a few A380s at any given time. 747s are now limited to cargo services due to the poor reception of the 747-8. Seems like large planes are on their way out, a sad phenomenon indeed.

[@AlexS0700]

you chose the Chinese meal and it came with strawberry yogurt, a croissant and Danish butter. Fair enough

[@bbtravelvideos]

Great video David! Hong Kong airlines look pretty impressive here, although the meal portions do seem to be a bit tiny..? Love the A350, such a great aircraft. You got the perfect seat with a view :) Regards, Brendan

Better-than-average food, IFE, outlets and amenities. Probably average seating, which for me would be critical on a long flight. Overall, this would exceed my expectations for an Economy flight. This report was quite thorough without wasting time!

Since HX announced that they’re stopping the services to US , does that mean they’ll stop operating their A350s soon?
