Premium economy experience

It's been a while since I caught sunrise. Just that I was lazy to change my seat partly because it was full and since it was first row I thought it will be easy to get out. Apparently no because the neighbour was a Dutch (i.e. long legs). But still I thank my lucky stars because this flight which was bought by client, was a premium economy after all. So more seat space, better headset and supposedly different food. It's funny that my last article was on the Gold card, and now I'm on premium economy experience. It's even funnier that with better headset, yet I chose to sleep half the time. I am really lacking of sleep I guess. And the jetlag will kick in again, sigh :( . 

Still remember 3 weeks ago when I was on my first flight in premium economy, at the check-in counter I was asked if I am a premium economy passenger. And the guy was strict cos when the next group came and they weren't, he told them off that you don't just find the shortest Q to queue. 

So I got the prestige of skipping long queues again which I guess is indeed a good thing as taking 2 long haul flights is really no kidding business. But I wondered constantly, why was I booked in Cathay when my colleagues got SQ flights. At least it will accumulate my krisflyer and get me THAT gold card again? In preparation for my next 6 months of long haul flights?

Frankly speaking, the last time in HKG was almost a decade ago. It changed my life and I thought at that time, that will be the start of a new beginning. But I ended that story for reasons I might not be clear at and I cannot be regretful for. Because it was my choice. That doesn't stop me from wishing to know how Doc is. Especially in the last 3 flights, where I kept wondering if the captain is Doc's brother. One more flight to go, and probably one more last wondering. 

Next week will finally be the last week in Melbourne. Maybe I will try to call. Maybe I will lose the courage to hold the call. But for now let's try to do some HK shopping because I really don't see myself dropping by HK anymore as it hurts as much as Melbourne too. Next 6 months, change of continent, I hope I will be happier and then I hope my wish will come true soon.
