Thanks!
Interesting. I've always wondered why there were no signage for exiting airside. Pull a fire alarm? Just kidding.

Technically, a transit / layover of 11 hours. Any foreseeable problem if I exit HKIA (using my HKID card), and about 8 -9 hours later, using either the second boarding pass issued at KIX, or online check in for CX 251, bypassing the CX check in counters? I will only have carry on bags.

Any issue or problems with exiting HKIA and returning later for the onward flight?
No problems with this.
