Chapter 118 Departure, Destination Hong Kong Island!_3
But her professionalism was high...
There was not even a hint of disdain, on the contrary, she patiently responded, "Generally speaking, meals are provided on the plane, especially since you two will be flying business class. Not only will there be regular meals, but also alcoholic beverages, drinks, and things like afternoon tea."
Having received an answer, Gu Heng smiled and nodded towards the ground staff young lady, then said to Xu Ying, "Don't buy any, we'll eat on the plane."
Before, he often saw TikTok videos...
Reviewing various airlines' onboard meals...
Gu Heng had long wanted to try it out...
Now that he had the chance, why not take full advantage of a good meal?
As for being embarrassed, that was not something he considered.
In his eyes, being embarrassed is when everyone knows something that you don't; that is what's truly embarrassing.
A regular economy class ticket costs less than 800 yuan, his one ticket is almost worth five economy class tickets...
The privileges he enjoyed were his rightful and lawful entitlements, where was the embarrassment in that?

"Boss, I've booked the presidential suite for you at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Hong Kong Island. I've already coordinated the itinerary with them, and they will be waiting outside the airport 30 minutes ahead of time."
About the itinerary...
Since I've never been to Hong Kong Island myself, I spent about 6 hours filtering through information online. After touring most of the attractions on Hong Kong Island, we can take the helicopter service provided by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to Ao Island.
I haven't made any plans for the Ao Island tour yet, but I'm already collecting information and should be able to complete the plan within two days."
Inside the lounge, Xu Ying took out her laptop, placed it on the table in front of Gu Heng, and leaned forward to introduce him to the travel itinerary she had prepared...
As for Gu Heng...
He was silent throughout, listening attentively to her presentation...
He may not know much else, but he knew the 600,000 yuan he spent a year was well worth it...
Xu Ying's itinerary planning was so thoughtful that even which restaurant he was to dine at and when had already been arranged...
If he were to go to Hong Kong Island alone, he'd be completely clueless, right?
Just as Gu Heng was about to praise Xu Ying for doing a good job, the ground staff young lady's voice came through: "Excuse me for interrupting, but the Eastern Airlines MU503 flight you are taking has started the boarding preparations.
Since the boarding gate is quite far, we have prepared a shuttle bus for you two. Would you like to leave now?
However, I need to remind you that if you choose not to board now, you may need to board with the economy class passengers later, and it will be a bit more crowded at that time."
"Then let's just go ahead and board."
It's all the same if we discuss the itinerary after getting off the flight...
Right now, what Gu Heng wanted most was to quickly experience the feeling of flying for the first time...

....
The so-called shuttle bus was a Coaster business van...
The experience was still pretty good...
But that's just for ordinary people...
For someone like Gu Heng, who was used to riding in the Bentley Flying Spur, there certainly wasn't much luxury to speak of...
However, turning his head, a huge bus was parked nearby, and without a doubt, that should be the economy class's shuttle bus...
Compared to that, the difference was clear...
At least he didn't have to fight for a seat with a crowd of people as if he were on a packed bus...
When they arrived not far from the plane, the driver stopped the car smoothly, and the business class flight attendant, who had been waiting, gently knocked on the window before opening the door: "Mr. Gu, Miss Xu, good afternoon, welcome to our flight."
After speaking, she bowed slightly, signaling them to disembark.
"Your seats are in the front cabin, please follow me."
Since business class passengers have the privilege of boarding first, there was no one in economy class at the moment, only two flight attendants stood in the aisle, and they respectfully greeted Gu Heng and Xu Ying upon seeing them.
When led to the so-called business class, Gu Heng was slightly taken aback...
Not because business class was extremely luxurious...
Compared to the seat density he had seen in economy class, it was not hard to see the airline's determination to make money... Find your next read at empire
That density surpassed even the old-fashioned green trains...
But there were only eight seats in business class...
No wonder a business class ticket is five times more expensive than economy class...
If this were turned into economy class, just the floor space alone could almost recoup half of the cost...
"Mr. Gu, this is your seat, please take a seat."
The flight attendant who led Gu Heng onto the plane quietly reminded him, while Xu Ying was taken to the other side by another business class flight attendant...
"How many flight attendants are there in business class?"
Curious because he only saw two in economy class, and now there were already two just for business class, Gu Heng couldn't help but inquire...
Although the flight attendant didn't know why Gu Heng was asking, she still smiled and gave a response: "For this short-haul flight, we won't need to work in shifts, so there are only 7 crew members on board, including three pilots and four cabin crew.
My colleague and I are designated for business class, and the two you saw earlier in economy class are for economy class passengers.
But don't worry, if we get too busy here in business class, we will call on the economy class attendants to come over to serve you, so you don't have to worry about us providing inadequate service."
Well, that's something...
Business class with 8 passengers has two attendants...
Economy class with 150 seats also has just two attendants...
And if business class gets too busy, they'll have to pull attendants from economy class to help out...
What do you think?
