IIRC this flight used to fly via Amsterdam?

It certainly did in the 90’s.

Also via Paris on some days – but both were a very long time ago when the route was starting up.

My first ever CX flight was MAN-AMS-HKG, upper deck on a 747, in 1996.

First of many landings in Kai Tak.

Slightly OT, I remember mine was LGW-CDG-HKG in 1991, near the back of the lower deck.
Seems a lifetime ago, given the numerous non stop daily flights from LHR CX now offer.
