United Airlines
Continuing from the first and the second post about the package bought from zuji.com, in this post, I'll be writing about the flight to and from Hong Kong on United Airlines.
When my mum and I reached the place to check in for the flight, I was slightly taken aback to see that that were around 8 security guards sorting us into queues and asking us questions. I found out after that that security was tight because firstly United Airlines was a US carrier, and secondly the flight was going to the US after stopping over at Hong Kong. I didn't feel like I should be taking pictures of the security guards there so I didn't. Its too bad that I didn't though 'cos it isn't something that we would see everyday. I wanted to take pictures during our journey back but there were no security guards when we were at the Hong Kong airport.
The plane was big. But maybe that is just in comparison to my expectations. I've been taking budget planes and small airlines so much that I didn't think that I would be taking such a big plane. If I had to estimate, the size of the plane I took is the size of a normal Singapore Airlines plane. Here are some pictures of my plane.

The stability of the plane was really good (because the plane was large). This was probably also because I haven't flown in full fledged carriers in a really long time. I used to have very bad ear pains when I fly during the accenting and descending parts of the journey because of the pressure, but both flights with United were really nice, smooth and comfortable. There was a little bit of turbulence on our flight back but it felt very controlled and was a little like a mini roller coaster. Even during the turbulence, the flight was very comfortable.
The only thing that was not as impressive from the flight was the food from Singapore to Hong Kong. In their defense, the food provided when we were on our way back from Hong Kong to Singapore was not bad. The flight attendants brought out big plastic bags and encouraged passengers to recycle their rubbish near the end of the flight. I was impressed by this because the attendants got the passengers involved in recycling. However, this move felt slightly fake because it only happened once on my return trip. Nonetheless, it is quite a good marketing strategy if they are just doing it merely for that purpose.

Another thing I should mention is the friendliness of the counter staff of the Hong Kong Check-in area. She could tell that we were not fluent in Cantonese therefore she wrote down what she wanted to convey for us to better understand her.
My verdict:
If I got a chance to, I would definitely want to go on United Airlines again! I know I have already said this a few times but I really had a very comfortable 4 hour flight from Singapore to Hong Kong. The service was wonderful, the seats were comfortable and the entertainment was quite up to date. I managed to watch Les Miserables during my trip on 12th May! As a whole, i was satisfied by the package provided by zuji.com and I am also definitely going to use it again when I am traveling!
