Departing on the 5pm flight in a few weeks, and hoping to check in and go to the lounge around midday so I can take a few calls before boarding.

According to the Cathay website, Heathrow checkin is open all day. However, I recently travelled out of Terminal 3 on another airline and noticed the CX check in counters were unmanned around 12pm. I looked carefully to see if there was even 1 counter attended but no.

Anybody have any experience checking in early at Heathrow ?
