There are the usual tv's in the back of seats and they come round at the beginning of the flight with activity bags for the kids. Ollie got a Nemo one and a Toy Story one with colouring books, stickers, crayons etc in. You are all given a pack with flight socks, tooth paste and toothbrush in which saves you carrying your own. They also gave us a 7 seats between 4 of us on the way to the Uk and 4 seats between us on the way back when we were only 2 paying passengers (hubby came back before I did so just me and kids). The air crew were great with the kids and really helped when they could. The only criticism of the whole thing was (I'm afraid to say with you saying your little one coiuld be fussy) is that the kids meals weren't great. It was chicken nuggets and wedges for one meal and I think fish fingers for another. They do have yoghurts, bread rolls and fruit though. Might be best to stick some snacky things in your bag if you can. Hong Kong airport is ok. There is a small 'play area' . Not as we know it (no climbing frames etc but a sort of maze thing with little activities to do) but it kept mine amused for a while and they can race about there without getting in anyones way. There's also a childrens tv room i think. The only international food outlet we saw was Burger King but there are some good noodle bars if your children will go for that. Anyway good luck with it all! Jo
