 Route: Chongqing International Airport to Shenzhen Airport Departure date and time of flight: 17:20 on 10th August 2015 (delayed by five hours, and arrived at 2am into Shenzhen) Flight number: QQ8141/CZ8141 (code share with China Southern, but using a Chongqing Airlines plane) Flight duration: 45 minutes Class: Economy Class Aircraft type: Airbus A321 Punctuality of the flight: The flight departed around five hours late, and arrived at around 2am in Shenzhen Top Tip: Try not to fly when you have a cold. I made the fatal mistake of doing so, and ended up with the worst ear blockage ever. As soon as we started our decent into Chongqing, my hearing just went, and with exceedingly painful results. The consequences were that I sought to get a doctor’s advice as soon as we landed in Chongqing- and that didn’t help either (because I had a cold). It also didn’t help that I had a connecting flight to Shenzhen the same evening, and two days after that I was due to fly to Kuala Lumpur, and then Kathmandu (high-altitude again!). The only solution was to go to the hospital in Shenzhen and get my ears cleared using sound therapy, and to take a dose of antibiotics throughout my time in Kuala Lumpur and Kathmandu (before flying long-haul to London). Any baggage issues: I had a large backpack, weighing around 12kg, which I checked-in as hold luggage. This was the first time I had taken a trip with a backpack, and without much hand luggage. Comments regarding the pre-meal service: None Comments regarding the first meal: Just a bottle of water, and two plain buns. Comments regarding the drinks service: Selection of various drinks. Comments regarding the in-flight snacks (if any): None Comments regarding the second meal (if any): None Comments on the in-flight system (if any): None Comments on the interior of the aircraft (including seat comfort): This Airbus A321 aircraft has a seat configuration of 3-3 with an all Economy Class seat set up.

These are not records taken from somewhere else, but are actual flights I have been on. Most of the flight trips are officially sponsored by the airline companies in order to promote their certain routes, and aircraft. Airline promotion and PR related work in the aviation industry is one of my expertise.
