    New economy stretch seats coming. 35 inch pitch will be nice but no word on the seat width which will be interesting.
    As far as I know they are the same seats just re-pitched a bit... So no change in width..
    Will probably lead to the seats down the back re-pitched tighter than what they are now...

    Mrs Beagle not keen on travelling that far...not getting much positive feedback on that idea...

    Very true. I booked a flash hotel In Honkers about 6 months ago for the night before our cruise that commenced on October 4.
    Checked online a week before we were due to arrive and could get the same room about NZD200 cheaper! I emailed the hotel and they agreed to provide our room at the new rate They also gave us very early check-in at no extra charge after we arrived around 7:30am off our overnight AIR flight. Didn't see any sign of protestors aanywhere.

    Came through there last month, and stayed at our usual digs in Mong Kok. Half the usual price, and at 8am, reception was completely empty. No issues while there, odd little disturbance or shouting and bit of graffiti.

    Chinese visitors is where they are missing out, both in terms of stayers, but also "ants" coming over the border for shopping. Spoke to some Chinese this week and they said Hong Kong was "extremely dangerous".

    A flouro vest and a face mask will set you apart as a tourist. You'll be sweet!

    Flak jackets are out of stock but there's plenty of beer and discounts on the shopping.
