    First time I went to Hong Kong as a civilian, flew on Cathay Pacific Airline.
    Great city for a vacation.

    I don't remember which airport it was. Flew Cathay Pacific over 20 years ago. Every since then I use Air China.
    Air China had a direct flight from Las Vegas to Beijing or Shanghai until sanctions started. Now have to fly American owned airline to Los Angeles, then switch to Air China. I usually just hire a shuttle car to take us to Los Angeles, then get on the plane there. Less chance of losing a suitcase that way.

    Kai Tak was a real adventure to fly into on a windy day. My one time was in 1979 when i went to HK for a week. That was back when people actually dressed well on planes and were very civil.

    Even today, Hong Kong is a great liberty port for sailors; #1 of the best!
