cxfan1960: Thanks for the heads up -- I didn't know that afternoon KA flights are prone to cancellation. Are KA809's prone to cancellation?

Arriving HKG at 23:05, would I be allowed to enter the CX lounges between 23:00-01:00 if my next flight doesn't depart till 09:20?

I would actually call CX and ask for hotel arrangement: its not OP decision that now he needs to spend a night in Hong Kong. I have seen people led by Cx staff to have free access to plaza premium lounge ( airside) which I think may be because of this.
