Well as widely reported in
this thread (Oneworld circle asia fare.) this is not a CircleAsia fare to Asia – it’s just a really expensive ticket
The objective of this trip was to visit a new business that we had bought who have offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The guy that works with me (tgtwwm
TM) is also on this trip. Through lots of messing around we finally decided to scale back the work at the new businesses and do a normal audit at our existing Shanghai office. This meant an extended visit to Hong Kong shared service centre (where at least 1 of my bosses is based).
So my routing is:
SYD-HKG-PEK[stop]-HKG[stop]-PVG[stop]-HKG-SYD
This is a maze of flying for me – I have my first whY flight in a long time (waitlisted for J) but we are travelling SYD-HKG-SYD in F on QF – so that will be nice. Although a little too early to sample the new SYD F lounge and F service (I will need to work on that).
