she than become a little pushy saying you will have more transit time in HK. i just rolled my eyes said i already have 3 hours.

yes she said all the afternoon flights are oversold, and was nice to have a middle seat remained unoccupied.
Not the best in marketing an earlier flight, I suppose. Were you booked on a long-haul config?

Although, with flight time being just 1 hour, and so many flights each day, I think of this segment as a bus service - just get on the next feasible service with the seat that I wouldn't mind being in, and worry about what's next after arriving at HKG.
