Do KA flights from PVG usually land at a remote terminal or a long distance from CX's HKG-SFO flights? Will we have to go through security again at HKG? Does KA/CX provide any special assistance to premium class passengers with short connections? Any advice would be appreciated.
Flights PVG-HKG are frequent (almost hourly). When you arrive at the KA/CX check-in counters at PVG there'll be a big board listing all flights, and their status ('full' or 'seats available').

As you arrive at the check-in counter, ask if your flight is on time, and if there are rolling delays, you can ask to be put on one that's leaving sooner. If there's space available (and you're going to miss your connection), you may be in luck.
