國泰航空 Cathay Pacific 530(CX 530)
台北桃園 Taipei Taoyuan(TPE)- 名古屋 Nagoya(NGO)
起飛時間 Depart: 12:00PM
降落時間 Arrive: 03:50PM
飛行時間 Duration: 2hr50min
機型 Aircraft: Airbus A330-300
座位 Seat: 17D(商務艙 Business Class)

搭乘當時國泰位於台北的貴賓室還在整修當中,替代用的復興航空貴賓室沒有什麼亮點,所以跳過不介紹。

At the time of my flight, the Cathay Pacific Lounge in Taipei was still under renovation, and the temporary lounge (Transasia Lounge) was nothing to write home about, so I'll skip the ground experience and start directly on board.

對於國泰的新區域型商務艙,之前已經介紹過好幾次(請參考我的旅行紀錄目錄),在這邊就不再重複了。在 A330-300 的機型上,商務艙是 2-2-2 排列,所以在窗邊的座位會比較適合結伴同行的人一起坐,才可以避免掉離開座位還需要跨過隔壁鄰居的尷尬狀況。

I've already reviewed CX's new regional business class product multiple times (please see my trip report index), so I won't repeat myself again here. On board the A330-300, business class is in a 2-2-2 configuration, so the window pairs are more suitable for those travelling together, so you don't have to climb over a stranger when leaving your seat.

一上機空服員立刻端來一盤迎賓飲料,這時候當然是選香檳就對了,但因為時間還早,就多要了一杯柳橙汁。

After boarding the flight attendant came with a tray of welcome drinks. Usually my one and only choice is the champagne, but since it was still quite early, I asked for an extra glass of orange juice.

這班的商務艙算是偏滿,只有少數幾個空位而已,所以空服員們也都相當忙碌,一直到班機後推之後才發了菜單。

Business class was relatively full on my flight, with only a few empty seats. So the crew were all quite occupied, and didn't distribute the menus until we pushed back.

按照慣例,日本航線的主菜都會有三個選擇(日式、西式、中式)。

As usual, there were three main course options (Japanese, Western, and Chinese) on Japan routes.

達到航行高度之後,首先會先詢問要喝什麼飲料,順便附上米果。除了香檳之外,我還點了單數月專屬的國泰特調「Oriental Breeze」。

After we reached cruising altitude, I was offered a drink and mixed nuts. I ordered a Cathay Pacific signature drink "Oriental Breeze" (which is only available on odd-numbered months) alongside my usual glass of champagne.

接著空服員才會來幫忙鋪上桌巾跟送餐盤。

Then the flight attendants put a tablecloth on my table and delivered the meal tray.

麵包則是直接從麵包籃裡面選擇。國泰商務艙的麵包一直都很普通。

A bread selection was offered from the bread basket, though I always find Cathay Pacific's business class bread selection to be quite mediocre.

主餐這次選了西式的比目魚,味道還不錯,魚肉也不會加熱到太乾,整體來說是讓人滿意的一道料理。

For the main course, I chose the halibut, and it turned out to be very tasty. The seasoning was good, and the fish was not too dry. It was a quite satisfying dish.

餐後按照國泰的慣例,當然是會提供 Haagen-Dazs 冰淇淋,通常也會有兩到三種口味可以選擇。我選了草莓口味的。

As usual, Haagen-Dazs ice cream was offered after the meal, and they usually had two to three options on board. I chose the strawberry one.

另外也點了一杯港式奶茶搭配冰淇淋。

And also ordered a cup of Hong Kong style milk tea to go with it.

台灣往日本的航程其實很短,餐後休息一下,也就準備降落了。國泰從台灣飛名古屋的時間很好,早上不需要太早起床;班機降落之後到市區也還有時間到處逛逛跟吃晚餐。如果有計劃到名古屋出遊的話很推薦國泰的航班。

Flights from Taiwan to Japan are usually shorter, so after a short rest we started out descent to Nagoya. Cathay Pacific has a great schedule from Taipei to Nagoya, I didn't have to get up too early in the morning for my flight, yet I still had time to walk around in the city and have dinner after landing. I'd highly recommend flying with CX when travelling to Nagoya.

日本航空名古屋中部國際機場貴賓室
JAL Sakura Lounge, Nagoya Chubu Centrair International Airport

跳過在日本的行程,直接快轉到名古屋機場。名古屋中部國際機場是2005年才建成的新機場,內部設施很完善,除了各式各樣的免稅店之外,也有觀景台、航空紀念品專賣店,以及有機場景觀的澡堂,是很適合航空迷們流連的機場。

I'll skip all my itinerary in Japan and fast forward to the Nagoya Airport again. The Nagoya Chubu Centrair Airport was a new airport built in 2005, with plenty of amenities inside, including all sorts of shops, an observation deck, a special shop of aviation-related souvenirs, and also a bathhouse with airport view. It is without doubt a perfect airport for aviation geeks.

但這邊的重點還是以介紹日航貴賓室為主。名古屋機場的貴賓室不多,所以出關之後順著標示,都不難找。日航貴賓室則是和星空聯盟貴賓室位於同一區。

But I'll focus on the JAL Sakura Lounge here. There are not many lounges in Nagoya Airport, so just follow the signs after passing security and immigration. The Sakura Lounge is in the same area as the Star Alliance Lounge.

貴賓室的門口維持著一貫的低調風格。

The entrance to the lounge had the usual understated, low-key style.

貴賓室內部的裝潢雖然稍嫌陳舊,但維持得很乾淨整齊。

The decor of the lounge was slightly dated, but very clean and well-maintained.

座位區的空間不算太大,但看起來航班也不多,所以貴賓室一直都不會很滿。

It's not a large lounge with a huge number of seats, but thankfully there weren't that many flights either, so the lounge remained relatively empty, at least when I was there.

貴賓室內則有簡單的自助餐點。比起其他亞洲的貴賓室,這裡的食物選擇不多,唯一的亮點是日航特製的牛肉咖哩。

There was a small buffet in the lounge. They didn't have many options compared to other airline lounges in Asia, with the only special item being the JAL special beef curry.

另外名古屋機場日航貴賓室的特色則是藏在貴賓室的盡頭。

The highlight of the lounge, on the other hand, was hidden at the very end of the lounge.

這一區的裝潢營造的是一種二戰時期俱樂部的氣氛,裝潢和貴賓室其他區域是完全不同的。我一開始還以為這裡可能是吸菸區,但其實並不是。

This area was going for a WWII vibe, and had completely different decor and furniture than the rest of the lounge. I first thought it was a smoking lounge of sorts, but it actually wasn't.

既然是俱樂部,大部分的酒精飲料也都是放在這裡。所以千萬不要因為外面沒有擺酒而誤會了喔。

Since it's a "bar," most of the alcohol was also here. So don't get mad if you didn't see any liquor outside. They're here!

最後除了「The Bar」之外,貴賓室內也有設置按摩椅。

Finally, there's also a massage chair in the lounge as well, which was a nice addition.

雖然日航貴賓室比起其他在亞洲的貴賓室可能很普通,也不算非常大或是非常豪華,不過作為航班前簡短休息的地方,絕對是很足夠的。

The JAL Sakura Lounge was certainly not an eye-opening lounge compared to its rivals in Asia. It's not particularly large or luxurious in any way, but still quite suitable for as a place to rest before a flight.

今天的登機門在14號,商務艙跟優先登機的人數一樣很多,所以稍微排了一下才順利登機。

Today's gate was gate 14, the priority line was very long as usual, so it took a while before I was boarded.

登機之後的第一件事,當然就是來一杯香檳囉。

First thing on board? A glass of champagne please.

接著座艙長相當迅速地派發了菜單,也一一問候商務艙乘客。

Then the inflight service manager personally greeted each business class passenger, and handed us our menus.

窗外可以看到名古屋機場,這時候沒有太多國際線航班。

I had a very nice view of the tarmac from the plane, but there weren't many international flights at the same time.

回程和朋友一起搭機,餐前一樣點了香檳、Oriental Breeze,配上米果。

I had a friend travelling with me on the return journey, and we ordered some champagne and Oriental Breeze before the meal. They were also delivered with some mixed nuts.

主餐我們則分別點了糖醋排骨跟牛排。如果仔細比對餐盤跟菜單,就會發現三樣前菜中,不知道為什麼只有出現沙拉而已,另外兩樣前菜消失無蹤。餐後也沒有如菜單提供起司跟水果盤。另外筷子也不是國泰一般的筷子,而是提供日式的免洗筷。

As for the main course, we ordered the sweet and sour short ribs and steak. Though if you compare the tray with the menu, you'd notice that of all the three appetizers on the menu, only the salad was offered, the two other appetizers remained missing. No cheese and fruit plate were offered after the meal as well. Also, the chopsticks offered on this flight were not the usual ones on Cathay Pacific. Instead, they were disposable Japanese chopsticks.

用餐時趁著天還沒暗,也趁機捕捉了一下窗外風景。今天的雲層特別美,也是提醒大家搭機時除了享受機艙內的服務之外,也不忘欣賞一下在空中才看得到的美景,畢竟這才是許多人熱愛飛行的原因,不是嗎?

I also took some pictures of the view during meal service when it was still bright outside. I had an exceptionally beautiful view of the clouds today, and it was definitely a reminder that we should always take some time to enjoy the view out there. After all, this is the reason why many of us love flying so much, isn't it?

  1. 這菜單是發錯了吧?!難道名古屋線現在也提供餐後水果盤跟起司盤?!
    我以為名古屋線是吃晚餐不是午餐?!

    我暑假也要搭531商務回台!

    1. 仔細看了一下,菜單下面確實是寫533,應該真的是發錯了!

      祝你暑假搭機愉快,到時候有機會的話也歡迎來分享一下搭機經驗囉~
