HKG City Check In

[Awesom Andy]

First thing when you arrive at the station is to buy a ticket. If you are buying more than 1 ticket, always use the counter. The machines don't give you any discounts, but the counter will have discounts available for more than 1 ticket. After you have bought your ticket, you can proceed to check-in area - the gate is somewhat similar to taking a train - stick your ticket in, and walk through. Usually, there aren't any queues, and the longest queue I've been in was about 3 people. After check-in, you can take the train any time you want, although I would suggest a minimum of 2 hours before departure as HKG can get a little bit busy sometimes.

If you are flying CX you can buy cheaper onboard before arriving.

i used this a few weeks ago and it was very good. I was flying Jetstar back to Singapore and I think they had staff that covered quite a few airlines, as Jetstar doesn't have a lot of flights coming out of Hong Kong.

Also note that with several airlines you can check in, not just 24 hours, but the day before your flight.

i.e. You can check in at 6am for say, your evening QF128 the next day.

I was in Hong Kong last week, and would recommend check-in via the train station.

The check-in at the airport (for QF) was total utter shambles, complete chaos. Over 1 hour to check in, whilst in the J que/line, and l wasn't the only one who was slightly pi$$ed.....then there was immigration stamp time, another 30+ minutes, really, really unorganised.

I have a one way ticket from HKG to MEL and there is a requirement to see the CC at checkin. I wonder if that can be done at Central or Kowloon?

Pretty sure it is. I've had many ex hkg tix and have used city check-in. Can't guarantee it will work of course though.

Another option is having the CC sighted at the QF HKG office <5 min undercover walk from the Central - Jardine House, marked as A on the linked google map Google Maps

We did this in Oct as we were flying in from NRT & wanted to ensure the bags were tagged all the way through from NRT -HKG-SYD-BNE without hassle. No easy task as it combined 1 paid CX, 1 classic award CX & 1 JASA QF - all on different PNR's.
