You didn't specify if you're on economy, Business or First.

But offhand, I can say that CX will not be the one providing you with a layover hotel as your connecting flight is on an AA flight number. Besides, the Pier will kick you out around 11pm. Same as The Wing. No overnight sleepovers allowed.

Your best bet is to call CX directly and asked them. They *MAY* give you a bed at the Regal Airport hotel. But I cannot say for sure.

I know its longshot . I was fishing . I am now EXPlat , but doubt that matters .
thanks

It's the fare that counts... IF you had booked your flights entirely on CX flight numbers (yes, even in Y class)... I'd say you would have qualified for a free layover courtesy of CX. (Which would include breakfast as well !) But alas I don't think AA flight numbers would have qualified.

Still, I'd call CX and ask. ... they may or may not be able to see your onward booking on the AA flight number. ...

When you call CX, ask them if you qualifiy for a "STPC" in HKG from DPS because you are connecting onto JFK the next day on CX flight 830.

Any idea if CX pays for accomodations if doing an overnight connection on an AONEx fare? Specifically, I'm doing SIN-HKG-NRT; there is a same-day connection that leaves SIN in the AM, but the only flights with F service are the PM SIN-HKG and next-day AM HKG-NRT.
I've already pricelined a hotel on HKI that night, but it would be nice to have options, particularly if the flight is late or something.

I have checked with CX about overnight stopovers when there are same day connections, and have been told that they will not provide accomodation. This applies even when the ticket is in full fare F, and taking the only flights with F would necessitate spending a night in HKG. I have been told that I should either buy a J ticket and make the connection on the same day, or buy an F ticket and pay for my own accomodation.

I have not checked what they would do if there are no same day connections.

I was planning on traveling thru HKG back to the US and CX Sales Rep told me that the airline will not accommodate me… I had an arrival in the evening and a morning flight…

only kidding , got to give it to them for supplying room and transportation . with overnight connection!

No. CX will not give you stopover hotel when there are other flights that permit an immediate connection irrespective if you're on F ticket .

But the OP is flying in from DPS-HKG .. and that is the only flight which would necessitate an overnight if travelling to JFK irrespective if he takes the nonstop or the 1 stop via YVR. There is no other way to connect. Usually in such cases, CX will provide hotel overnight. But then again, the problem here is that OP is on an AA flight number and that might play against him.

I do not know if this does apply to every situation but in Surabaya, there is a promotion of flying SUB-HKG-LAX with J class on SUB-HKG sector, HKG-LAX on Y and accomodation will be provided during the long layover on the return sector.

SUB-HKG (8:20 - 14:05) and then connect to HKG-LAX (depart around 16:20) so accomodation is not needed. On the return sector LAX-HKG arrived Hong Kong at 6 am while HKG-SUB departs at 16:10. In this 10 hours of layover, the hotel room is provided.

I did this once and my aunt did it again this Christmas. However, since your are looking for accomodation for the first sector, I am not sure if the promotion apply.

I tried ,but since I was dealing with DPS staff , and transfer gate at HKG , didnt feel like that was my best shot . still should of planned this earlier and called like "Guy" said . I feel I would of had a better shot . got a room of Nathan St for 36 $ us , good enuff for now .

Mine was a late Arrival from SIN, and an early/afternoon departure to JFK… And I was told NO….

couple from Canada , returning to Toronto , who had room provided , were not on package , just flights , sat in Y from DPS . maybe CA CX office does it different. but it was a NO ,for me with out any hesitation.

Did they say CX is providing them a room?

yes CX gave it to them
airport hotel , may have been because of Canadian

usually the hotel deal in on before one book the ticket (list as part of the fare rule)

otherwise, it has to be the airline's fault for you to have to lay over.

yes... it should be part of the fare basis..

When I purchased the ticket, I was told that accomodation is provided on the return sector before I issued the ticket.

Hi... I told you why yours would probably be a "NO". It's because your onward flight is on an AA flight number. Even though the flight is operated by CX, revenue has gone to AA and irrespective of how you look at it, CX is not responsible for you. AA is. If you had booked your flight under CX flight number, CX will definitely get your overnight accomodations.

It has nothing to do with Canada vs US bookings. STPC accomodations can be provided up to 24 hours prior to departure. It CANNOT be booked at the airport as CX res must send a request to the hotels in HK for confirmation.

CX will only provide STPC overnight accomodations when there are no immediate connecting flights possible. The DPS flight is a perfect example. It cannot connect to most North American flights and hence an overnight when fliying from DPS at HKG is required.

The only NA flight I can think of that the OP's DPS flight can immediately connect to is CX880 to LAX leaving at around 11:35pm. And (temporarily) to CX872 to SFO leaving at around 11:45pm but this will be short lived when this flight reverts back to a 4:30pm afternoon departure in February.

Are You sure about that? Because my segment was all on CX from JFK-HKG-SIN-HKG-JFK… As the SIN-HKG flight will arrive in the evening, and since there is no flight to JFK till the next morning, I asked CX directly if they will provide accommodation in Hong Kong, and I was basically said NO… Can It be because I’ll be on a Y ticket?

It's because you could fly CX889 connecting to CX717 direct to Singapore without an overnight. And on the return, you can fly CX736 connecting directly to CX888. The minute you 'choose' to fly on specific flights (ie the nonstop flights) will void your rights of getting overnight accomodations!

Actually, the STPC overnight programme is set up primarily for economy class passengers. When I was working with an asian travel agency many ions ago, we had to request many "STPCs" so I know what works and what doesn't.
