Very short Cathay Pacific Transit at Hong Kong airport

[Quickstatus]

Im late to this thread but if the last sector has a short connection and checked luggage, it is sometimes advantageous for the passenger to make the connection but the luggage to misconnect - especially if the last sector is the going home sector

I'd rather the airline courier the luggage to my house than me having to wait at luggage carousel, green/redline at quarantine, schlepp through airport, then transport home

Yes the flight was cx298 madrid - hong kong 29/10 which was delayed causing my missed connecting flight cx 135 HKG - MEL on 30th Oct.

Experflyer does not reveal a reason. It had been recorded as departing on time but landing 103 minutes late.

Prime facie you’re eligible for compensation. Let’s wait to see the reason why, but regardless, it’s worth submitting a claim.

If your flight is eleigible the only reason I can see for CX to deny it is on the basis that the flight ex MAD was only delayed a short time. But that’s irrelevant, case law has established it is the arrival time at the final destination.

Hiw late were you leaving madrid?

Not very late , I’d say 10-20 mins and they were well aware that we’d arrive late at HKG as mentioned a couple times by the pilot

It's a bit strange. According to flightstats (attached) landing was 18:42 but did not arrive at gate until 19:43.
