Currently Playing: HONG KONG AIRLINES' Newest A330 Economy LONG-HAUL - Making A Comeback?

Thank you for watching! In this trip report, we take a look at my interesting experience flying onboard the embattled Hong Kong Airlines on its first post-pandemic long-haul route (Hong Kong to Gold Coast in Australia) aboard its newest (most recently delivered) A330-300 in Economy Class. Hong Kong Airlines seems to be making a comeback in long-haul travel, so what's the experience like? My experience was far from perfect, with messy ground service and damaged baggage, but it wasn't all bad. I'll tell you all about my experience in this comprehensive review.
