FreshBreeze flew Hong Kong Express Economy, on a B737-800 (07/11/2011 05:23)

The boarding call for the 1900 BEJ-HK flight, departing Beijing Capitol Airport T2, was called about 1830 and the queue was orderly, with the staff checking passports and boarding passes before we reached the scanning machine. We didn't have to pass through business class but entered immediately the economy cabin.

Overall, the experience was surprisingly good – the interiors and seats well maintained and service prompt and friendly. I think though effort should be made to improve meal quality. The chicken dishes I chose on both routes, going to Beijing and coming back, were noticeably bland. I was pleased to discover that the IFE menu was quite varied for a three-hour flight.

Once the meal offerings are improved, I would say HK Express could beat Dragonair, one of its route competitors, any day. I would certainly fly this airline again.

We flew with this airline recently and we found the service pretty good and the cabin crew friendly, which was a good start to our vacation. Only downside is the poor in-flight entertainment - the movie shown onboard was in Cantonese and didn't work for non-Chinese like us.
