I am flying first class through Hong Kong (cathay pecific) in July. Should I try and get any specific arrangements (seat, meal etc) or just sit back from here on out?

Recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.

Can't hurt to ask for Kosher. I believe they have Hermolis meals.

Sit on the left side of the plane (more private).

Definitely order Kosher meals, although you may want to risk bringing your own food and asking them to heat it up (though some have had trouble with CX in this regard).

Can bring deli and have them keep it in a fridge. May be easier.

Nice.

CX is verrrry strict. Don't be surprised if they won't heat up nor refrigerate your own meals.

Don't forget to order kosher from the lounge if departing HKG.

My friend told me to stay at the shangri-la in Kowloon because it is next door to the sepharidic shul in Kowloon and is nice. Sadly, Shangri-la is not part of a global partner like SPG or Hyatt, etc. Is there another hotel in that area that is a partner to a global hotel chain that I can use one of my hotel cards at?

Thanks!

Use a handy feature called the search box and search. There is already a thread that has your answers. Its called the "Hong Kong Master Thread". Enjoy

Dan, read my tripreport. I was in hong kong and think 2 days is enough to see all. It depends how much shopping you want to do. I stayesd from friday till sunday night, that was fine.
I can only strongly suggest you spend shabbes in kehilat zion on the kowloon side. The food was amazing, beats every 5 star hotel. The atmosphere was very nice and its within short walking distance to a sheraton. There is also a shangrila right next to it. I stayed in the intercontinental grand standford.
The f and f rate was about the same as cash and pointd with starwood

Hello,

I will be staying for a shabbos in Kalwoon - Is the Sheraton too far from KZ? Also, do the Sheraton folks know about shabbat? Also, the prices at the sheraton look far lower than the Shangri-la. I love Sheraton normally, will the hotel stand up to my expectations and how hard is the shabbos life there? Otherwise, I will stay at shangri-la and get only 2.2x

Thanks!

My friend told me he has stayed at both the shagri-la and the sheraton and the extra cost (and lower points for the bux) - are worth it at this time of year as the heat and humidity is way too high. Have others been there and agree???

HRK isn't shabbos friendly.

So what do you suggest? Holiday Inn? I often see the Luxe Manor for less than $100 on the Hotel Quickly app. I do not know the exact location but that sounds like a great deal.

Dan · « **Reply #478 on:** May 01, 2014, 08:30:39 PM »

I stayed on HKI for shabbos and went to Chabad of HKI, which was an incredible experience.
After shabbos we went to the W (also not shabbos friendly) which was just phenomenal.
