I found many flight in that date one of the flight with 2 hours transit but I'm planing 2 choose the longest one 2 stay there n hv some fun

so do they provide like any other airlines
haha I half suspect you're joking? Because otherwise you're asking CX to pay for a mini-vacation of yours to HK! I don't know any other airlines who do this for a voluntary, 1.5 day vacation. CX flies to KUL multiple times daily! It's not like you're going to a remote destination of theirs. Especially for a discount economy ticket, but even J or F would be suspect. 36 hours is almost 2 days! There has to be some common sense here. Otherwise CX would be bankrupt (or all our airfares would be 20%+ more expensive to accommodate all the people getting their vacations paid for by CX!). That has to be another $100+ USD in value, which I imagine is 15% or more of CX's base fare they're charging you. I'd love some tangible examples of airlines that provide this type of service because I know a lot of folks who would be interested. Say, fly to Europe ex-HKG via the Middle East but get a 36 hour all-inclusive stop-over to Dubai, Doha, etc.
