The printout will be accepted as a bona fide boarding pass at the airport which means passengers using the service will no longer need to queue at check-in counters to get their boarding pass.

At present the Self-Print Boarding Pass initiative is only available to passengers departing Hong Kong who are travelling point to point on Cathay Pacific flights. Those with onward connections will not be able to choose the self-print option and will need to proceed to the check-in counters at the airport to collect the boarding passes for their Hong Kong departure and connecting flights.

Passengers need to be at the boarding gate Service Desk at least 30 minutes before the flight departs to ensure all documents are valid for travel.
