I have flown in and out of the old Hong Kong airport - Kai Tak
It was quite the experience - You fly in low over the cityscape, then make a hard (I mean hard) right and bank into a fast landing, right in the middle of the city. It was cool. Also, getting to and from the airport was fairly convenient as we're right in the middle of the city. But it was really crowded and the facilitites were old. They still used the old "ticker style" DEP/ARR board (kind of neat).
The new aiport is gorgeous and has great facilities. But takes about an hour to get to. Still, great airport - awesome food and shopping - beautiful inside etc...
