<\/a><\/br>Hainan Airlines A333 (B-8118) At the Gate<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
The good thing about having two consecutive flights on the same code was that, the layout at Seattle was reasonably short, yet with guarantee from the airline. <\/br>Icelandair B757 At the Gate<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Delta Airlines B763 (N1202P) At the Gate<\/br>My plane to Beijing.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Hawaii Airlines A332 (N386HA) At the Gate<\/br>Off to Kahului but got diverted back.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Delta Airlines Fleet at Seattle Airport Terminal A<\/p><\/div> But\tnothing happened to our flight thus far, as our flight was boarded quickly and pushed back. <\/br>Cargo Being Loaded onto My Flight to Beijing<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Emirates B77W At Seattle Airport Terminal S<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Taxiing in Seattle Airport<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Amazon Prime B763 Cargo (N307AZ) on Apron<\/br>Flying daily between Willington and Seattle.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Flying over Misty Des Moines<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Des Moines Marina<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sun Shining over Winglet<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sun Shining over Colorful Clouds<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sunset over Moresby Island<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Haina Island between Moresby Island and Graham Island<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Meal Service<\/br>I picked chicken and potato, which was sort of OK.

Until later I was suddenly interrupted by cabin broadcast, stating that there was a medical situation onboard, and we would be diverted to Anchorage. I turned on the screen in front of me, which showed that our flight was already flying back. <\/br>Flight Route Displayed on Screen Indicating Diversion<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sunset Glow over Alaska<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n The cabin broadcast didn\u2019t went on to discuss the detail of the medical situation, and didn\u2019t ask whether there\u2019s any doctor onboard. And there wasn\u2019t any panic onboard (maybe everybody\u2019s too sleepy to respond to that).<\/p>\n <\/br>Delta Airlines B763 Cabin<\/p><\/div>\n Again, I hated whoever lunatic at Delta\u2019s tech department, that cut the original 21:9 movie down to 16:9 to fit in the screen rather than scale it down. And I sadly ran out of movies or videos on my cell phone, and that felt terrible.<\/p>\n <\/br>Anchorage Airport Runways<\/p><\/div>\n Once we touched down on Anchorage, more misery to me as I found there\u2019s no signal on my ultra.me network (which was a subsidiary of T-Mobile).

But luckily, the pilots sorted out this issue very fast, and we only spent one hour on the ground in Anchorage before setting off for Beijing again.<\/p>\n <\/br>Anchorage Airport Taxiway and Terminal<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Bathroom onboard Delta B763<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n After that, I basically slept all the way back to Beijing.

\nThat afternoon Seattle Airport Terminal S was very much bustling, as there were multiple international flights ready to depart at that moment, including one Delta flight to Hong Kong that got delayed for more than half a day.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>

\nNot long after that we were flying over the clouds of rainy Seattle, then onto the Pacific Ocean.

\nAgain, I feel I need to comment about this meal. I didn\u2019t like it overall. It\u2019s not that Delta Airlines didn\u2019t care about catering onboard, but it seemed they were focusing on something totally irrelevant, like, offering cheese with three different brand names (there was even these annoying cheese in the lettuce), rather than making things more delicious.
\nAlso, I\u2019m not sure Delta is spending its money rightly. I saw on the flight from Beijing to Seattle that they were offering drinks with Japanese names on it, I saw on this flight that the apple juices and orange juices were served in cans. Well, these were obvious and better areas of cost-cut than actual food served onboard.<\/p>\n

\nThe good thing about landing was that, we landed on the right runway, which was 36L. So it was a short taxi to Terminal 2.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nAgain, the good thing about Terminal 2 at Beijing Airport as a relatively small one was that, the checked bags came out relatively fast (in Chinese standards), and there wasn\u2019t much of a line at the customs. So after that I jumped onto the airport express train and headed back to dormitory, thank God I made it before the last subway train of the day.
