My original flight already left when I arrived. We arrived immigration side and needed to quickly get to the United transfer counter which was near the Bridge lounge side. Instead of taking a buggy which would have been faster we were forced to walk the whole way. So we missed the check-in time of the rearranged flight by only a few minutes. There were four of us with this connection, so we were all very much annoyed.

As for would this have still occurred? Funny you should mention this because my original departure flight, I just checked, shows as canceled, so they would have needed to accommodate me onto a different flight, including the option of sending me on a non-stop flight to my final destination. So perhaps they would have moved me to another CX/KA flight to HKG, but my original schedule had a 3 hour layover which would have sufficient for any delay that day.


Anyways I will give them a call and ask.
