I don't want to start another OWE thread so I'm just going to jump on this one. Flying AA EWR - DFW - HKG and then connecting to CX HKG - SIN (booked separately) the same day.

A couple of questions:

1) Is a 2 hour layover at HKG sufficient for making the connection (we'll have plenty of time for the Wing before the return HKG - DFW - especially since the upgrade is looking questionable - so that's not the primary concern here)

2) I assume despite separate PNRs for EWR - DFW - HKG and HKG - SIN (the two tickets were booked separately as an EWR - HKG return and HKG - SIN return) that I can interline our bags all the way to SIN (especially with an AA ---> CX connection) eliminating the need to collect at HKG

3) I am OWE but my sister, who I'm traveling with, is not. Does my OWE extend to her for booking exit row seats (or other "priority" seats) on CX? If so do I just need to call?

4) Last but not least - what would be the best two seats on an A333 in Y (as of know it's showing regional one way and long-haul config for the return but I know swaps do occur frequently on this route)?

Thanks all - this will be my first CX experience (and hopefully my only one in Y - next time I'll be on miles earned from this trip in F instead )
