For our upcoming trip we are arriving from Singapore at 10:00AM (on JetStar unfortunately, but it is the only flight from SIN that allows you to make the early flight), so we have tons of time on the front end, but for the return is there any risk in booking CX918 that leaves at 5:45PM? We could take the next CX flight if necessary (7:55PM), as we don't leave HKG until 1:00AM, but I would really rather hang out at the Pier or the Wing at HKG as opposed to 4+ hours at MNL.
