Today marks a turnaround in Young Travelers of Hong Kong.

Long time writer Jason has joined since the Hong Kong Airline News-Young Travelers of Hong Kong transition, and he’s written a huge load of trip report installments up here, including his latest Finnair trip report, with his experiences on the Finnair A350 and Cathay Pacific A340 (as well as his amazing ground experiences at Helsinki Airport).

So, today Jason, as usual, sent me a picture of his flight in Cathay Pacific business class from Hong Kong to New York. He dubbed the service great but not amazing, so not to the level of the last time he flew the route (the review of that will be on soon).

In a slow and steady integration of travel blogging into my life, I’ve started to get more active on social media. With Young Travelers of Hong Kong, Twitter is where most of the magic happens, whilst I’ve been quite active on Instagram as well. The former was launched further towards when Hong Kong Airline News was still active, and the latter has been up since Easter this year.

I’ve been on both as myself, whereas Jason just has a rather artsy-themed Instagram YTHK-based account (and his own avgeek-based account, too).

Apologies on being slightly light on posts lately (of course, my trip report to Phuket is rolling out smoothly).

Ultimately substance beats style when writing anything. It’s always disappointing to get on a snazzy, well designed site, only to find nothing close to what you were looking for.

That said, sometimes, for both us and you guys, the blog does need to be updated, and long-time readers may have noticed changes in the blog format.

Appearance Changes

It’s probably noticeable that the blog has changed again in appearance, and it’s merely an update from the Twenty Fourteen WordPress theme to the Twenty Fifteen WordPress theme. I don’t think it’s that big a change, and it’s definitely just for better editing and a cleaner blog, which I like.

The layout is slightly cleaner, in my opinion, but currently it’s hard to access the categories, which I’ll try to fix later.

At Young Travelers of Hong Kong, we’ve made a lot of changes last November, and I think they’re staying for a while (I’ll just say that we’re taking desperate measures to keep the blog on the line).

We’ve updated the Trip Report Index – well, we haven’t updated it, we’ve just added to it.

We definitely haven’t finished the update, but from the new “Airlines” page, I think y’all will see where we’re going.

If any of you have noticed that we have been quiet this week or so, please forgive us. Jason and I have a lot of school work to do, so please give us a little patience and time to post.

Thanks!

I’m terribly sorry about the title. I suck at coming up with them…

So hi.  I’m Jason the bloke person who wrote the oneworld Extravaganza Trip Reports at Alvin’s request. As mentioned in previous posts on Hong Kong Airline News, I’m probably 10 years too young to write on this blog, like Alvin. Somehow, he got his way and dragged me into the travel blogging business, which I guess is a good thing given that I just got a terrible grade for my last writing assessment ;).

Some facts about me are:

I LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEE Cathay Pacific. Take how much Lucky Schlappig from One Mile at a Time loves Lufthansa first class, multiply it by 100 and you get the real idea. I used to board planes wearing a Cathay t-shirt which I now realised probably looked extremely weird.
