ሰላምታ ሆንግ ኮንግ - Selamta Hong Kong!

And we are travelling again, now to Hong Kong, to celebrate Diwali with family there!

Checking in for our flight - we are travelling on Ethiopian Airlines, which operates a fifth freedom flight between Incheon and Hong Kong, which then flies onwards to Addis Ababa...

I am flying on Ethiopian Airlines after 35 years - the last time I flew on Ethiopian between Addis Ababa and Bombay in 1981, on board their Boeing 727!

And I was eagerly waiting to board their nextgen Boeing 787 Dream)liner...

Neeti finds it really strange that these things about aviation delight me... but that's how I am!

Boarding from Gate 125...

A glimpse of the aircraft from the aerobridge...

The colourful wings of Ethiopia...

The IFE welcomes us on board...

Their inflight magazine Selamta proudly says they have been flying for 70 years...

The IFE gets switched on...

A United Boeing 737 besides us...

The United flies this Boeing 737 between Narita, Tokyo and Incheon...

"The Spirit Of Africa"

This was one of the best inflight meals I had in a long time - a delicious and hearty chicken curry with rice, vegetables, salad and a pannacotta...

Approach into Hong Kong!!!

We are welcomed into Hong Kong!

And now looking forward to some restful time here in Hong Kong!
