Transit via DEL isn't as poor of an experience now compared to years past... I don't think that HKG would be significantly more friendly of a transit experience than DEL, especially since DEL's connections are perfectly timed while HKG usually requires quite a bit of sitting around... And T3 is fantastic - I didn't think that AAI was capable of such a thing..
