Notes:
CA1316 CAN-PEK.At the beginning of the plan, another JetPhotos spotter PAIYUAN_PENG_1997 and I planned to fly from SZX to PEK on the most frequently flown route of 747-400. But our plane was changed to an A350-900 four days before departure and finally changed to an A330-300 a day later. We traveled from Shanghai to Shenzhen with the last hope, because the 747-400 we wanted to take was diverted from CAN to PEK. I think this is the first time I've hoped for bad weather before flying. The time came to the morning of June 23rd. We sat anxiously in the restaurant of Bao'an Airport and watched fr24, because the thunderstorm weather in southern China caused troubles for several major airports in the morning. Although there was still sunshine in the morning, the After eleven o'clock, Shenzhen also began to rain, and all the incoming flights at the airport were circling endlessly. There are already many flight adjustment times in Guangzhou, and CA1316 is among them. It was adjusted to take off at 5:10, which gave us a precious two-hour window to take the high-speed train from Shenzhen to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. After a brief discussion, we decided to cancel the check-in for the Shenzhen flight and buy CA1316 tickets to Guangzhou. It was a big gamble as our flight was an hour late but not delayed yet. This time we did it. Around 4:30, I received a text message from Air China telling me that my Shenzhen flight had been delayed due to weather, and I successfully changed my ticket.We were all very excited to board the 747-400 that felt like a dream,After reaching the cruising altitude, we started to take some photos as souvenirs. The flight attendant was very enthusiastic after seeing it and guided us to take this photo with twin engines at a good angle

absolutely fantastic! Yes the flight attendents in Air China was nice to me when I flew with them on a 747-8. They guided me to the 3rd row which is empty and allowed me to take photos there, where you can see two engines!
