"AHQ!唔該你地!求下你地!拜下你地!可唔可以唔好再騷擾我地HKIA嘅運作!
其實你地唔熟我地嘅運作,就唔好set埋啲垃圾新玩法啦!
上年無啦啦話只可以用一個membership,唔俾改,status跟死check in時入乜就係乜。
之後又玩 seperate ticket唔through check 。
再跟住Rimova行李箱喺oversize counter落再加fragile tag。
宜家又話ticket name 要100% match with Passport。
朝令夕改,全部都係玩一陣唔玩,你地修改容易,但啲貴客會唔會咁乖去順應呢?鬧就我地食哂!鬧一排又改玩法 !好難捉摸呀!
真係AHQ! Hi Auntie !
For those who can't read Cantonese, here's the translation for the bolded line:
"Last year you [AHQ, whatever department that is] said [pax] can only use one membership, changes not allowed, status must match with whatever is inputted in system during check in"

Is this the case? So if I accrue to other program but wanted to use my Emerald benefits (ie lounges particularly) and/or change it back again before boarding, that's a no no at HKG? Any recent anecdotes? This will be a big blow for me as I renewed AA EXP until 2019 but plan to start accruing to CX (as an SL)...
