I am wondering if it is possible to do a 'back to back' at CTS. Specifically, to arrive on CX580 at 15:25 and immediately return on CX581, same aircraft, at 16:35.
(The reason for asking this question is the potentially attractive combination of ex-Japan prices and HKG-CTS being just beyond the magic 2,000 mile threshold for BA status earning).
I noted the magical 2000 mile mark too. Pls update us if you attempt this.
I am not sure if the Airport allows for transit (ie. if they have a proper transit area); if not, it will be probably impossible to if you have clear immigration.
I believe HKG has to print your new starting ticket's boarding pass (that is originating in CTS), perhaps the other CX regulars can chime in to see how possible is that.
If not, it may be a challenge to get your CX boarding pass printed in the transit zone (especially you will be in a rush, and they will be very bemused), if they have one in the first place.
Good news if you can pull it off, and I wish you good luck!
