My best plane ride.

Seoul

I have to share about this. Remember my really cheap airfare from Beijing to Seoul? Ya, 850 yuan (170 Sing) 1 way. It was supposed to be economic ticket. Take a look at the picture above, doesn't it looks like economic cabin to you. No, it was much better. Not sure of the class but i think it is at least 1st class.

I was really surprise when I was shown to my seat. I thought it was a mistake. I check the seat no against my tickets. Yes, it is correct. Prior to this, I met another Korean (we met in Lijiang) and so we check-in our luggage together. He was also given a seat next to me. Yes, we both have the surprise look on us.

I have ridden on Boeing economic class, Airbus economic class, Chinooks, Super Puma, C130s... 1st Class, it's my first time. Yes, I will confess upfront that I am very Shwah Gu (mountain tortoise, how to translate this to English). The first thing I notice is the seat. On my left armrest, there is a remote control with over 10 buttons just for the seat itself. You can control every single thing on the seat. Wow.

When the plane landed, we looked at each other, it was the shortest plane ride of our life.
