A few things, but the main ones were the terminal design and since Cathay parks at T2 Narita, you could see planes on approach from the terminal since the right runway is closest to T2/3 lol

Great shots! The Cathay livery looks really clean, especially in the night ramp photo — lighting and angles are spot on.
Also nice timing on the departure shots; you can really feel the scale of the aircraft. Thanks for sharing these
