FLY THE FRIENDLY SKIES

As a kid, summers back in Hong Kong began with the spectacular approach to and arrival at Kai Tak airport. First-time arrivals would always gasp with fear, but it was amazing to fly so close to buildings that you could see inside flats. On Cathay Pacific, the landing theme song was Barry White’s Love

Theme and I would be so excited. Once the doors of the plane opened, the smell that rushed in was a sign that indeed we were back to the “fragrant harbour”. I also loved the ramp of the arrival hall: coming down it was like being on a fashion catwalk.
