I however did not have checked in luggage to be retrieved in HKG.

Sounds great. Thanks! This is exactly what we'll probably do--we won't have checked in luggage.

When you say you leave your carry-on luggage (and get a pass) in the F section, whom do you usually leave it with--the one-person counter within the lounge or the larger counter outside on the way to the various restaurants?
