Creator's Key Takeaways
Thanks so much to Cathay Pacific for letting us experience their regional Business class seats
I'm so excited. Yeah, you got the tickets. Co's job is to get the tickets.
I do recommend the Uber, by the way, because the taxis was going to cost us $400 Hong Kong dollars and the Uber cost us $340 Hong Kong dollars. So, there's a savings.
