It seems to me that the Geneve airport check in folks would likely understand that the long leg of my trip is on First Class from Munich to HKG, and that this 1 hour short first leg is just Business, and one would hope that they would allow this not-overly-unreasonable amount to go through without issues!

may i ask if my assumption is correct or am i overly optimistic?

thank you again.
