Anyway, side note, the quality of Chinese movies have really fallen downward in my opinion.
Not on the JFK flight. But try one of the SFO flights, and often the plane will be over 25% Indians. A year back I was in F going to SFO, in the cabin was a well-recognizable Indian businessman and his entire family. Many of Indian families are based in Silicon Valley and probably the most direct route back is via HKG
