Shortly after another text message with the new departure time at 10PM. We were booked in F. Upon arrival at the airport we were booked on ANA in F to NRT and then on NW in C to HGK. There was no availability in C on CX at that time. Once we arrived in NRT we were rebooked to CX 505, which was subsequently canceled (first delay 2/2 cleaning, then engine problem, then air conditioning problem). We got on the plane at 8:40pm, left the gate, but came back shortly after due to recurrent AC problem. Got off the aircraft and boarded another one at 10:30pm. Left the gate again, but returned shortly after 11pm due to curfew at the airport. Went to hotel and departed the next day at 11am. Unbelievable!!! Never CX again!
Seems you are too lucky to catch both well published delay ... I think you should file an complain and you probably get something serious in return...

Is this the first leg of your RT trip ? I hope the return trip HKG --> JFK amaze you.
