Its a way for poentially CX to reclaim some of the lost revenue on these error ticekts. CX is fully aware of who the travellers are and worst case scenrio is you don't want any legal issues linked to your passport when travelling thru HK in the future.
Is this a serious consideration? If so, it's a massive risk to take. Surely a significant number of people who booked these fares are planning to end their trip in HKG. Would the airline start pursuing all of them after honouring the tickets? Seems counterintuitive.

Less concerned about losing the FFP's but still a major consideration.
I think driveswith is concluding that paying the $25 is worth it.
Correct. Happy to pay a few dollars to do this right. Actually flying a leg I don't need is a different story.
