Flight had landed on time and was taxing to gate 53.
Flight had arrived on time. I used the smart-gate for immigration having a bio metric passport. Filled information in the self check kiosk and joined short queue for immigration.
My bag arrived in 20 mins after immigration, joined the quarantine check queue. As I didn't have any declarable items, was allowed to exit the customs area.
As I was travelling light, I took train to Central from International station.
Train arrived in few minutes
Disembarked at Central and took another train west.
Leaving Central station.
Hope you enjoyed this trip report. Thanks for reading.

CX101 was a good inflight experience, Departure and arrival was ontime. Seat was satisfactory. Hong Kong airport is efficient, was able to use the automatic immigration gate, food options are plenty but all busy causing long wait time. Sydney Terminal was able to exit in 50 minutes after landing.
Overall a satisfactory trip.
