The whole HK brand, including HKIA, is prized for efficiency, and this feels like...not that.
Whether the passenger experience is good or not has less to do with whether there's a switch of terminal buildings but more to do with how much walking is required and how long it takes to complete the transfer procedure (both are very much kept to the minimal). Moreover, how is this different from the current transfer flow when one has to switch from T1 to T1M for a CX to UO transfer?
Also, there are very few places in the world that has no security clearance for international-international connections. They basically only exist for domestic (or Schengen) to international connections.
Oh. And I've taken 2 APMs to get to my gate in Singapore.
