CNS transfer times

[mitti]

Hi guys,

I've got a Asia Miles award flight booked to Europe this coming December and to get availability I've had to go SYD-CNS-HKG-MXP where my SYD-CNS flight is on QF922 arriving into CNS at 12:00 and my CNS-HKG flight is CX146 leaving CNS at 13:00.

This transfer meets the official minimum transfer time of 60 mins, however I wanted to get your opinions on whether this is workable or whether I should change my SYD-CNS flight to QF924 which arrives one hour earlier.

I've never been to CNS airport, though I assume it's quite a small one where transfers shouldn't take very long if the flight does happen to be 30 mins later or so. Because it is so small I would rather spend as little time there as possible, but again I don't want to spend a night there if I miss the CX flight!

Thanks!

Should say this is booked in J if it makes any difference, I'll be first off to run to the next flight

Luggage through checked, boarding passes provided in SYD - shouldn't be a problem. You've got about a 4 minute walk to the separate international terminal building.

covered walkway and all.

Yeah the international terminal isn't that far from domestic and CNS isn't as busy as SYD/MEL so you should be fine

Thanks guys! You have sufficiently allayed my concerns of spending too much time in the horrible Reef lounge
