Again, I do not see why you cannot OLCI your CDG-HKG flight before leaving JFK (you can allways take care of the next one at the lounge or gate). If you cant, I would appreciate to know your source as it seems weird. You could also call CX in NY to find out about interlining with AF, and/or AF at JFK. If it is on the same PNR (ticket), I doubt that there would be a problem to get your BP there. But again, OLCI is a simple option.
Hey Brunos,
Thanks a million for the response
. JOUY31 has been in touch with me, and I'm not sure that he could offer additional help regarding how I'm to get specifically my onward CX BP at CDG in order to use the bus. But if I'm understanding you correctly, are you're suggesting that a printed online itinerary will suffice for my situation--that I will be permitted to use the bus to get to 2A?
I may have misstated the issue of online check-in via CX's website. I think I can check in online but cannot print a BP: <http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_US/selfprintboardingpass>. Now, if it's indeed true that a printed itinerary--say from Expedia.com--will suffice, then it seems that having a BP in hand would be a moot point.
And if CX closes its gates 60 mins prior to departure, I fear that I'm looking at a misconnect
. Do you think I can make it from 2E to 2A in 30 mins or less?
Once again, thanks a ton!
