Zvi Josef's Travels
Around noon we headed for the airport to get to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific.
The flight was 30 minutes late and was ok, if rather a bit underwhelming.
Arriving to Hong Kong airport, we were almost conned by the representatives of Hong Kong Airlines (they wanted us to sign a document that if we miss our connecting flight - they have no responsibility - of course we did not signed it).
Our flight was initially delayed for 20 minutes, which was still acceptable for the 2.5 hours connecting time in Beijing.
However, after boarded the airplane, we were informed the flight would be delayed for at least 3 hours (!!!), which meant we would miss our connecting flight.
Then started one of the most horrible negotiation between Hong Kong Airlines and ourselves.
They wanted us to wait for 4 days in Beijing until the next flight is available!!!
Of course we did not agree and eventually we got them to give us a flight to Europe the next day and hotel accommodations for the upcoming day.
The flight left 4.5 hours late, eventually.
