Golfer Urvashi Sethi's holiday to New Delhi got off to a rough start thanks to Severe Typhoon Vicente, and the ordeal got worse when she reached her destination but her bags did not.
'The nightmare continues,' the 40-year-old professional golfer said, adding that about half of the travellers on her Cathay Pacific flight were missing their baggage.
She had faced a 20-hour delay in Hong Kong as airlines struggled to cope in the aftermath of the city's worst storm since 1999.
And Sethi wasn't the only one complaining - some passengers at Chek Lap Kok airport said they waited for 40 hours or more. Many were still waiting for airlines to confirm their flights.
The Airport Authority said 190 flights were delayed yesterday, three days after Vicente swept in, but the delays were significantly shorter than in previous days. Half of the flights departed or arrived within an hour of their scheduled time.
Passenger Ye Huiling expected to spend only a few hours in Hong Kong en route from Shanghai to Auckland, but a six-hour delay to her Dragonair flight from Shanghai meant she missed her connection.
