Hong Kong

Booked MAN to Guangzhou via Hong Kong with the ferry transfer, but just got told the ferry is now pushed back to 15:00… which means sitting around for like 8 hours after landing. Now wondering if it’s possible to just enter Hong Kong after landing and take the train to Guangzhou...

Sharing this since I couldn’t find a clear answer before flying. Had an award ticket HKG to LHR in CX business. Separate HK Express flight from SYX to HKG with a 2h25 connection. Everything I read said I’d have to self transfer, collect bags, clear customs, and recheck before...

My flight got delayed and now I am stuck with a 14 hour overnight layover in Hong Kong. Does Cathay usually provide hotel accommodation in this kind of situation? Or is it only in certain cases? If anyone has dealt with this before, would appreciate hearing how it worked out.

Booked MEL to Hanoi with a layover in Hong Kong. Total ticket was about $1300 AUD. I missed the connecting flight in HK and they charged me $1600 AUD to rebook. That’s more than the original ticket cost. I know missing a connection can get expensive, but that number shocked me....

Just found out Cathay is using facial recognition for boarding at SFO and HKG. Has anyone gone through it recently? Is it required, or can you opt out and just have your boarding pass scanned the old way like pre-2019? Curious what the actual process is like at both airports and...

Cathay’s lounge situation at HKG is one of the few things that still feels pretty generous. As far as I know, there’s no hard “x hours before departure” rule like you see at some other airlines. If you’re airside and eligible, you can usually enter as early as you want. I’ve...

It’ll be my first time ever having a layover and I’ve got a 1 hour 35 minute connection at HKG in economy. Just trying to get a sense of how rushed this will feel. Do I need to power walk straight to the next gate as soon as I land, or is there time to hit the bathroom, freshen...

I’ve got a 9 hour layover in Hong Kong on Feb 23. Landing around 8am and flying out around 4pm. Hoping to leave the airport and get a quick feel for the city without spending much. Looking for: Cheapest and easiest way to get into the city from the airport A couple of iconic...

Flying out of Hong Kong on Cathay in a few days. I have oneworld Emerald, which normally gets me plus one guest into the lounge. The problem is I’m traveling with my partner and our 2 year old, and the child now counts as a guest. On the outbound we tried our luck and were...

I’ve got a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong from about 8:30 pm to 8:30 am. Trying to figure out if it’s worth heading into the city at those hours or if I’m better off staying airside. I do have oneworld Emerald lounge access. Are any of the lounges actually open overnight? And if...

We’ve got a Cathay connection in less than a month and I’m already stressing. Family of four, economy, 12h flight into Hong Kong, short transfer after that. Two adults, a 3yo and a 14 month old. We’re seated in the back bassinet row so we’ll be some of the last ones off the...

Looking at a Sydney–Manila flight with a 1h10m layover in Hong Kong on Cathay. Assuming no delays, is that enough time to make the connection? Next option has a 3.5-hour layover, which I’d rather skip if possible. Flight’s at the end of this month.
