Fly to Hong Kong by Cathay Dragon

We booked the flight to Hong Kong through Cathay Pacific website but it was a Cathay Dragon that we boarded. The last time I fly with Cathay was three years ago and I think at that time, Cathay Dragon was known as Dragonair. It seems like they have rebranded Dragonair into Cathay Dragon and make it more identical to Cathay Pacific.
For a return flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong during the Easter Holidays weekend that only cost me RM708 net, it is more that what I can expect. The staffs are very friendly and the seats was comfortable, spacious, and clean. The entertainment system was good with some new movies and shows. Not bad at all for the meals too.
Breakfast
Opps, turbulence...
Dinner
San Miguel Beer, a must have when flying to Hong Kong. I wonder if they have Blue Girl Beer?

Traffic Jam in Kuala Lumpur for Aircrafts

Who says we only have traffic jam for cars in Kuala Lumpur?! Now in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, despite of good weather in our country, we do experience traffic jam for aircrafts to land and to take off. If you always experience traffic jam for an hour in highway or in town, same goes to the planes.
I experienced it myself, boarded an aircraft at 11.00am sharp and later being informed by the pilot that there was a congestion at the runway, 20 aircrafts are queuing to take off. Guess what? All aircrafts seems to be using the same runway to take off, despite of if the flight is from KLIA or LCCT. I saw MAS, Cathay, JetStar, AirAsia, Emirates and others all waiting at the queue. I really don't know if this is the norm in terms of how International Airports operates, but should there be a separate runway for a KLIA and LCCT? Just curious about it because only after 1 hour waited in the aircraft, it then come to our turn to take off. Lucky that my connecting flight has a gap of another 45 mins; but still it was very rush!

Again, I want to say we did it again...with consistent possibility of traffic jam without discriminating the mode of transportation you use. Seeing is believing!
