Just went through Lowu again just now....in record time!
That's good going, it is so much better than it used to be! Big improvement.
On the subject of time keeping, I had a obsession with the time it took to arrive at my hotel from the airport. It became quite competitive amongst our group and using the "honour system" we set some rule in place...
Clock starts with your first step off the air bridge into HKIA. Clock stops when your butt hits a chair in the lounge of Harry's Bar.
You had to take AEL to Kowloon Station and Taxi to Hotel. You had to check into hotel and take your bags up to your room.
We would usually arrive around Gate 65 - 70 however one trip I got lucky and got GATE 2 at the airport. I thought as I walked along the air bridge... this is it! I got lucky at immigration, bags waiting for me on the belt, Customs no drama, Short line at the ticket counter, train left less than a minute after I sat down, a reasonable cab line at Kowloon Station but lots of cabs available, smooth traffic, efficient and well organised check in staff and as I walked to the Elevator lobby the door opened and I walked straight. Made it back down to Hari's in 54 minutes which is still a record.
