Singe Posted July 9, 2013 at 04:01 AM Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 at 04:01 AM 15 years already, wow. I remember the old airport well, you could almost see people making themselves a drink in their kitchens as you flew in - or is my memory playing tricks. I do remember (November '93ish?) flying in when a CAAC plane had overshot the runway and was still in the water while the airport carried on as though nothing had happened.

abcdefg Posted December 13, 2013 at 11:49 AM Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 at 11:49 AM I flew Cathay Pacific into HKIA last week. I've always liked this airport and found it pleasant and efficient. So, Happy Birthday Airport! Here's to 15 more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldc Posted December 13, 2013 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 at 05:52 PM Last week I got stuck in traffic on the way to Heathrow, meaning I arrived at the check in desk an hour later than I planned, and the super grumpy Cathay supervisor said that as it was 59 minutes to take off, they'd closed the desk and there was no way I was getting on the plane. He then told me to go to another Cathay desk to be transferred to another flight. At that desk they were really helpful and they actually tried to get me onto my original flight, but then the supervisor came over and shouted at us all, and reiterated that there was no way I was getting on that flight. So got transferred to the next London - Hong Kong flight which admittedly was only 50 mins later than my original flight, but that original supervisor was a real arse...Girlfriend got me into the the Cathay Wing lounge on the way back to London, where I thoroughly abused the hospitality . If that supervisor in London was less of an arse I'd have wouldn't be bothered about being transferred to another flight, but he wasn't, so I say, Cathay, sod 'em! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:49 PM Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:49 PM Lucky that there are so many flights (CX BA VS) between HK and London everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
