Upon arrival at TPE, we made our way to the Cathay Pacific check-in counter.  While the business class queue was quite busy, there was no line for first class.  Since we were on separate reservations it took awhile to get everything sorted out but the representatives were great and soon we had our lounge invitation and boarding passes all the way to LAX in hand.  We were a bit early arriving to the airport so they proactively put us on an earlier flight so we could enjoy The Wing at Hong Kong.  Both agents told us "we would enjoy that lounge much more" and they were right.

We only had 45 minutes until boarding and queues for immigration were pretty long so we didn't make it to the lounge or really get to explore the airport at all.  We spent the last of our Taiwanese Dollars on a few souvenirs and were soon boarding the 777 that would take us back to Hong Kong.

Today's flight would be configured with Cathay's new regional business class seats.  They are totally comfortable for an hour flight but look much more like domestic first class than anything resembling "lie flat."

We both thought these phone pockets were pretty cool

The flight was only 75 minutes so I didn't have a ton of time for pictures.  There was a very quick meal, coffee service, and of course the belly cam.

Beyond that, the flight was uneventful and we were soon on approach to Hong Kong's International Airport.  Gorgeous views on the way in though.

Once on the ground, we made our way over to The Bridge to do some plane spotting before the real fun would begin at The Wing.
