The Journey to Austin - Part 3

Aboard the B777, I saw that it was way much bigger and spacious compared to 757; the seating arrangement is three seats on each side and the middle part having five seats with two aisles. There are some entertainments on board; every seat was equipped with a LCD screen so we can watch one of any of the few movies provided. I didn’t managed to watch any because it none of the movies were interesting and I will get headaches if I watch it.

Instead, what I did throughout the flight was either read my novel or play Othello with Hon Mun. Besides the movies and music, the LCD also provides the flight information such as the altitude, distance travelled and remaining and external temperature. Check this out: they also provide real-time basic graphical map that shows the terrain as the plane travels!

3rd meal

The meals they gave us were much better than what I had in Air China; we had about four meals during the flight. I was anticipating the moment when they serve the meals… The toilet or lavatory as they called it was extremely small but manageable; I think it’s a standard size for all airplanes. The flight from Beijing to San Francisco was about eleven hours. Again, I didn’t managed to rest much although the seats were spacious but the flight wasn’t all smooth going; there were lots of turbulences which made me feel sick – and made me pray for a quick end.
