- Time for another quick weekend away, so Shanghai, China here I come.
What I did not realise when I booked this flight a few months ago, is that the specific weekend is in the middle of School Holidays, oh, and the F1 Grand Prix is being held in Shanghai the same weekend.
First stop was the Qantas First Lounge for some Breakfast, as a creature of habit, I went for the usual Sweet Corn Fritters and Bacon, followed by Eggs Benedict and Smoked Salmon. What I haven't had before was the Iced Coffee... Highly recommended.
Then time for boarding QF129 to Shanghai at Gate 37, my seat on this A330-300 flight was 60A.
The flight was smooth, and the service impeccable. The First Meal was Kung Pao Chicken and Fried Rice, Mid-Flight several snacks and drinks were offered and the Pre-Arrival Meal was Lemon Herb Pearl Cous Cous with Roasted Carrots. All food served was excellent, and the other options such as Beef Brisket, and also a Chinese Noodle dish looked great as well.
Just before our arrival into Shanghai, the Customer Service Supervisor (CSS) advised me that I was able to go and meet the Tech Crew (Captain, FO etc) in the Cockpit after landing, which is always a treat.
After disembarking the arrivals process was quite straight forward, although it did take close to 45 minutes to clear immigration. Thankfully I only had Carry-On baggage so aside from having a walk around it was a quick exit from that point.
Using my Alipay app, I booked a DiDi (Taxi/Uber) and made my way to the hotel.

God bless the pilots who allowed you a cockpit visit. love your aerial footage specifically SYD terminal view when taking off and shanghai when landing
The visit up front was a real treat, and truly appreciated. Most of the time was spent chatting to the Captain & First Officer, but managed to get some video to share. Thanks for the kind words.
2-4-2 Is That I Preferred In Economy Class.Great Video
The 2-3-2 layout layout towards the back comes in handy as well. Thank you for watching.
Another great video. Lovely photography. The First Class lounge shots are always a treat. Many thanks.
Thank you for watching, and I appreciate the kind words.
Good video as usual. Like the take off scene from the that end of the runway. Regards. Les of Melbourne.
Thank you. I think most of my flights over the past year have left from the Bay end.
Oh, I best not mention how good the Trains and Metro are in Shanghai... lol
@@ausflyer yes, best not mention how good the trains and metro is in Shanghai. Ha Ha.
@@lesliewentworth9678 they will come to Melbourne one day... 😁
I thought you went for the F1, but seems like you weren't aware of it! xD
Not all my planning is as good as I try to make it. It was booked mainly as a weekend away to visit Shanghai Disneyland as it is one of the last remaining Disney parks not yet visited (Tokyo is due to be ticked off the list in June, & Paris early next year).
I did make enquiries regarding tickets as soon as I got to the hotel, but it was a sellout. What was good is on the Saturday afternoon/evening the amount of people in the City and around The Bund wearing team colours was amazing. Aside from upcoming flights already booked, I think I need to look at what events are being held in the broader scheme of things, as the F1 would have been awesome to attend.
The interior looks refurbished! Love the seats leather and the huge IFE screens! Looks different compared to Qantas A332.
Whilst the Business Class cabin on both the A333 & A332 are the same, Economy on the A333 I find is a step up from the 200.
@@ausflyer yeah, looks similar to the one they have on their 787. I noticed the difference as IFE screens on A332 looks outdated, mostly. And unfortunately all flights to Jakarta (my hometown) are using A332.
