LLast time the Bazflyers stayed in Hong Kong it was a colonial outpost of Briton. This disclosure dates our experience as being prior to 1997 which was when the territory was handed over to China. Actually, we think the last time we were both here was more than 30 years ago. To put that in perspective we can vividly recall the arrival flying low over Kowloon into the old Kai Tak airport. It was in an Air Nugini B707. Anyone old enough to have had a similar experience can never forget peering out of the aircraft windows and looking horizontally into the windows of tall buildings either side of the approach, or at least that's what it seemed. These days this legionary airport that served Hong Kong for 73 years has a new role as a cruise ship terminal.
This time we landed at the new Hong Kong International Airport which was opened in 1998 following a.comfortable 12 hour flight out of Auckland in an Air New Zealand B777.
