Hi all,

The full day was spent at Shanghai/Hongqiao viewing the movements from the “Executive Airport View” rooms we had booked at the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Hotel-AirChina. As already mentioned, spotting couldn’t be any easier and we didn’t leave the room except to go and eat in Club Lounge.
Rooms on floor 11 that would give views were 1101 through to 1119. No rooms 1104, 1113 or 1114 – the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in Chinese as it sounds quite similar to the word for death. On floor 12, rooms 1201 through to 1223 would give you airport views – no rooms 1204, 1213 or 1214.

The rooms on floor 11 give you access to Club Lounge, a term that we would become familiar with and seems popular in Chinese hotels. In said Club Lounge, limited food and drink was available at certain times. Between 2-4pm nibbles were available but very little drink and between 6-8pm was a happy hour with alcohol and soft drinks. It’s worth a mention that water bottles found in the room on arrival can replenished on request if you don’t fancy drinking tap water. I refilled bottles with tap water throughout the trip and all was fine for me.

Back to aircraft movements, we were warned that things repeat quickly here, so only planned to do the one day here. We were coming back here at the end of the trip, so would have a second bite at the cherry. Star frames here today included the Chinese Air Force CRJ-200 and the Chengdu Airlines Comac ARJ21-700 🙂
