You prefer CDG over LHR?
Once flew into HK from China, they managed to get me and my bags from the China flight to the Amsterdam flight in less than 15 mins from touchdown. Don't think you would see that happen at many large airports.
Usually fly into Humberside, now there is a wonderful airport to use. Only 6 very small planes on a busy day. Main problem is there are only 3 taxis so if you miss them you have to wait until they have done their trips and come back!
Moving: rumour is they plan to move the main international airport from Manila to use the one at Clark, Pampanga so that could ease the problems (though I doubt it). Mind you we will all be long retired before that happens.
I have also done Birmingham indirectly from amsterdam to HK via KLM, pretty good, but if they had direct flights, birmingham airport would be alot more popular.
in my opinion, maybe even oasis airlines (actually pretty decent) may have had a better chance of survival if they choose birmingham instead of pain in ass to get to gatwick.
I think HK airport is awesome. Fast and frequent connections, rarely any queues and the e-gates make immigration a breeze. It is bright and open, never seems to have anything (lifts, trains, walkways) broken down and there are plenty of food and shops around.
I can't really think of a single negative thing about HK airport to be honest.
