Last night, I landed from OZ five minutes late. Cos J class, Gate 2 and HKID, got to the luggage belt in a couple of minutes and FURIOUS to wait over ten minutes for bags to be delivered (they are usualy waiting for us). Many bags had priority tags and mine were delivered among the last ones (but ahead of non-priority bags). So a total of 15min wait in luggage area (and probably around 23min after the plane door opened). SHAME on HKIA/CX!

Although the above story is true, I hope that all readers understand that I am playing humour in showing what is a "poor" experience here as opposed to CDG. Contrary to Cathay Boy, I am a HK transplant of French origin but have less patience with CDG and French unions as I must go there often. Arriving in morning at CDG 1 or 2 is often an extremely unpleasant experience (assuming that they do not misplace or open your bags) and then the mostly inefficient way to get a cab in freezing cold....

BTW Cathay Boy, I noticed your preference of USA over HK. My beautiful wife and moi are in love with Hong Kong.
