After a seemingly long period of time without doing videos in this very busy part of the year, I've finally found some time to do filming, this time with a very special aircraft that visits Toronto Pearson. It's the Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000 that's operating a new three-times weekly service between Hong Kong and Toronto, with the flight number CX828/825 every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
This new service commenced last week on 27 October, and while I wasn't able to come that day to catch the inaugural, I was constantly looking forward to catch this aircraft in Toronto since the announcement about this service was made back in April. With this flight, Toronto is now a convenient 15 hour flight to Hong Kong, compared to 30-plus hours that I did on the three-part trip between Toronto and Hong Kong earlier this year with British Airways and Finnair through London and Helsinki. While I express no interest into politics, I hope the situation right now in Hong Kong improves in the near future such that I can revisit Hong Kong again as well as to film and review this flight onboard as this aircraft features excellent economy seats with adequate width and legroom, double padding, high-definition IFE, and much more.
Also, I'm trying out a new font and format for video text, in part inspired by Jack.org, a mental health charity that I volunteer with. Let me know what you think about it!
