One heck of a (bearded) journey...

This really puts those "adventurous" long weekend into perspective. We spotted this video on Gadling and headed over to YouTube to check it out.

German traveller, Christoph Rehage, walked across China from Beijing to Ürümqi. Here's a video summary of his amazing trip and incredible facial hair growth.

Video: Woman goes insane after missing her flight

Posted by Emma Torry on February 17, 2009 at 05:34 PM

Loving this video of a woman in Hong Kong losing it after missing a flight; oh to have been a fly on the wall.

As I type I'm in Shanghai Pudong airport waiting for a flight back to Hong Kong. Sadly the place is deserted so no chance of this kind of a sideshow.

BA admits to problems with seatback on-demand service

Posted by Emma Torry on March 09, 2008 at 10:14 PM

In the last 3 months I've flown Hong Kong - London - Hong Kong three times, each with BA. There's been a problem with my seatback entertainment system on every one of the flights.

Last week, flying from Hong Kong to London, not only did my on-demand system pack up, but the overhead seat light didn't work either so I could neither read nor watch a film.

I headed over to the BA stand at the Berlin ITB to try and get an answer to why this keeps happening.

The Marketing team admitted that BA is having problems on long-haul flights with their new on-demand system, apologised profusely, and left it at that. Great. I've got a 13 hour flight back to Hong Kong with them tomorrow.

Perhaps once Terminal 5 opens later this month they'll get round to fixing their fleet. Has anyone else had the same problems as me?
