The America Journey Part 2

Then flying from Manila to Hong Kong....

Arrived at Hong Kong, the place was chaotic. I started to queue at the Cathay line. After queuing for an hour, I was thinking my patience was pulled to the max already. Can you believe it!!! There is only 2 Cathay Pacific counters to cater for a queue that was almost from gate 4 to gate 25. I was still at gate 4 for an hour.

China Airlines have 7 counters with no queue!! I was still on standby as not a single plane was allowed to fly. Got up to the gates to the departure and saw my friends!! Poor them have to stay in the airport for a nite.

Here comes the shit part- We have to fly to LA then to JFK airport. We have to run with our heavy hand- carrier from gate 4 to gate 28. We really ran as the plane is going to take off.
We managed to get on the plane CX884 and we thought it was ready for taking off. Guess what the story doesn't ends!! The right wings of the plane is leaking fuel!!! They took 4 hours preparing it and we were all sweating in the plane!

123 ready to take off... the wings are still leaking fuel!!!!! My neighbor and I was so worried that we kept pressing the alarm. Both of us was just beside the wings and we will be the first to die first if the wings caught fire. People was shouting and everything was a mess. the fuel was still leaking until we are on air. There was not a single soul come to explain what was happening. It was so life-threatening! The most horrible announcement was that" The flight attendants is going to serve you all hot food."

After 15 hours of flight, we landed at LA airport and was queuing again for our transfer to JFK. Later, we found out that our transfers were not to JFK but to Miami!! We were so mad with Cathay. Sherene and I got the domestic flight but not Peter!! But thank goodness we saw him on the plane later ! Our luggage went missing!!
