Hi all,
Just a few questions about an upcoming trip on CX (my first CX flight in about 10 years!)
Due to needing to be in India earlier than my (already ticketed ) flights, I needed to book on CX as QF had no D class availability anywhere near the dates I wanted to fly (either SYD-BOM or SYD-HKG-BOM).
I've ended up with:
CX138 SYD 21:55 HKG 05:25+1 33B
CX685 HKG 15:40 BOM 19:10+1 773
I went through HKG in 2006 and realise it's one of the better airports to have to spend time in (given it has a variety of shops and....2 F lounges?), but I'm wondering if 9+ hrs is pushing it a bit. Will any of the F lounges be open at ~6am? Do any of them have decent seats/recliners to sleep in? I presume I'll be OK to check my luggage all the way through (given this is all on the same ticket)?
If I was to leave the airport...any recommendations for things to do? I love HKG, but I've been twice and done the "usual" tourist things - The Peak, shopping, Star Ferry, LKF etc... Haven't seen the big Buddha though.
Also, are the J seats decent on these (33B and 773)? I'm pretty keen to try out CX Business so I'm not too fussed either way, just curious. Not sure how I can tell if the 773 is an ER or not.
Lastly - if I had a DONE4 booked with SYD-HKG-BOM (QF then CX) on 19/7, and this was moved to SYD-HKG-BOM (all CX) on 13/7...is it right that this requires re-ticketing? Same route, but different carriers.
Thanks!
Cheers,
