Is flying into HKG at 5 in the morning a bad idea? Thanks!
I usually like 1 AM departure from JFK because it allow me to have a full day in HK or SE Asia. Transit through HKG was seamless except for one thing - secondary secondary screening checkpoints doesn't open till later so you have to walk toward primary security screening checkpoint. Also, lounges are much quieter at 5ish - 6ish so easy to grab a Cabana room if you have access.
