5 hours flight to HK

I was flying to Hong Kong from Narita airport for Chinese new year celebration. The usual flight time was about 4 hours but this time it took 5 hours 10 minutes! The onboard announcement in English was saying 5 hours 5 minutes and I thought it must be a mistake. Turns out the same announcement in Japanese say the same thing. There was very strong wind at almost 300km/hr during the flight and reduced the speed of the plane to something like 600km/hr. I was expecting strong turbulence but I have a peaceful flight.

CX opened a new lounge in Narita after their move to terminal 2. The new lounge was crowded.
