Ok, so either mid this week or next week I have to go to Hong Kong for my final investors meeting before I start my new venture in April. How ever as I am paying for it myself, and I don't want to fly economy, I am flying on United as I get a special deal, however this means flying to LA then to Hong Kong which is a 27 hr flight, then have to have a meeting, go out get pi55ed, wake up and fly back to LA then back to the UK.

 

54 hours on a plane

 

5 hour meeting

 

Nice

 

:dry:

Yeah that sucks, and its a bumpy route too, can't get too pi55ed on the plane, as we are flying into the US and I sure I'll get locked away if I am not wearing a baseball cap and cowboy boots

Nice. I was in HK a few weeks ago for Chinese New Year...and even though I swore that I hated the place back in 1998 (the last time I was there), I have to admit that there's a certain "something" that makes me want to back there again soon, and even transfer my life over there (for a while, anyway).

 

I had the intention of picking up some bits for the FTO whilst I was there, but HK people aren't the most organised or friendly bunch (it's ok, I'm Chinese, and my parents are from HK :p), so nothing really happened in the end.

 

If you want cost-effective business class flights to HK:

Buy-one-get-one-free...which equates to about £750 a ticket (return flight, and the "free" ticket can be used at another date, and/or for another person!). Bargain...although I'm personally happy paying £300 and blagging the emergency exit seat...

Cheers , yeah I know of Oasis, however I get a silly deal on United so it a much wiser option for me.

 

I used to live in Hong Kong so I know it well and love it, just a bugger its such a long way to travel

It better be, otherwise if it isnt, this time next year I will be sitting on a bench in my own pee drinking Tennets Super

 

Could be worse! Sitting in someone elses pee and drinking Kestrel ;)

 

Good luck Marc :thumbs:
