I fly this route (US-HKG) and this AA route a couple times. Usually (with checked bags) I'm through C&I within 45 minutes. From there I'm usually downtown within another 30 to 45 min (max). Bags are usually already on the belt by the time I've gotten done with HK Immigration. If you have eChannel you are thru in 5 min. Otherwise 30 min is the longest I've ever waited. They are very efficient at getting you into the country.

I love this flight. It lands around the 5:30/6pm range and I'm usually having a nice dinner in my hotel by 8:30.
