Boarding on the plane:A Dragon Air flight KA692 on 25 October 2014, part 2/2014年10月25日ドラゴン航空KA692便搭乗記(その2)

A flight report on KA692 from Penang to Hong Kong.
ペナンー香港間のKA692便搭乗記です。

Equipment is A330-300, it's the same as the outward journey. But total number of seats is slightly different. The total capacity of this fleet can be accommodated up to 284 passengers, while the other one is up to 307 people, it's much lesser than the above one.
機材は往路と同じA330-300機。ただし当機の定員数が284名に対して往路に乗ったやつは307名なのでそれらに比べて座席数が少ないのが特徴です。

The aircraft registration number B-HWM was used for flight of the day. It's a newly bought plane, purchased in November 2013.

At 7:48 am, the plane starts a pushback. A few minutes later, it was takeoff on Rwy 04. Since the distance to the runway is very short, and the number of arrivals and departures isn't so much, therefore the plane will immediately take off.
午前7時48分に飛行機はプッシュバックを開始し数分後に滑走路04から離陸。ここは滑走路までの距離がとても短い上に発着数がさほど多くないので飛行機はすぐに離陸することが多いようです。

I choose a 35A seat, a left aisle seat of the middle located next to the wing. This time, the return check-in was done at the airport, not on the Internet. There was no place to surf the Internet during my stay in Penang.
座席は左中央の窓側の尾翼に位置する35A。今回復路のチェックインは滞在中ネットができる場所がなかったので当日空港にてしました。
Passengers are almost full. It's nearly same as the outward journey. I saw the transfer guide on the gate exit after arriving in Hong Kong, a guy seems to be connecting to the All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight and heading to Tokyo Haneda.
行きと同じく機内はほぼ満席でした。香港到着後ゲート出口にある乗り継ぎ案内を見るとそのうちの1名(おそらく日本人と思われる)は全日空便に乗り継いで羽田へ向かっていたようです。
Meal. I chose a Chinese style stir-fried noodle.
機内食は中華風焼きそばを選択。
I try to have a special made "Dragon cookies" after a meal. I got two when calling a flight attendant. I really love it!
今回も食後に特製のドラゴンクッキーをいただきました。声をかけた乗務員の方が2個くれて本当においしかったです。
I had tried to take a close up picture of the sky from the plane. It was a lovely sunny day, so I could take a perfect picture of it.
飛行機から上空を撮影して見ました。天気は快晴だったので写真がきれいに撮れました。
I enjoyed listening to classical music such as Bach's Oboe Concerto in 3rd movement during the flight.
フライト中はバッハの第3楽章オーボエ協奏曲などクラッシック曲を聴いていました。
The plane was safely arrived at Hong Kong 11:22am local time. The arrival gate was 23, it's very close to the immigration counters. During taxi, I was successfully caught a Cathay Pacific A340-300s One world special livery stopping at the tarmac. 
飛行機は現地時刻の午前11時22分香港に到着。到着ゲートは入国審査台に近い23番。タキシング中には駐機中のキャセイのA340-300ワンワールド特別塗装機の捕獲に成功しました。
After getting off from the plane, I have to find the gate for a connecting flight to Incheon. However, I couldn't find any information on my connecting flight. I asked to a girl. She said "We haven't decided yet". I went straight to the transit gate. After the ending of security check, I took an escalator to go to departure hall of level 6. After having a lunch at a food court, I was trying to find a gate for my boarding flight. The gate for my flight is 34, so it have to take a shuttle train to move there. However, the time is still 12:45 pm; 100 minutes before departure, so I decided to take some pictures of planes before moving to the gate.
飛行機を降りて仁川行きの乗り継ぎ便のゲートを探さなければなりません。しかし乗り継ぎ便の情報はまったくなかったのでそばにいる職員に聞いてみると「まだわからない」とのこと。それで早速乗り継ぎゲートに向かい保安検査を済ませてレベル6の出発ホールへ。フードコートで昼食を済ませ出発案内板で再度確認することに。そこでCX418便のゲートを調べると34番なのでシャトルに乗って移動しなければなりません。しかし時間はまだ午後12時45分なので出発まで100分あるので移動する前に飛行機の写真を撮ることにしました。
