Over 3 hour connection time. The agent at Hong Kong refused to check through the baggage.

It created a big hassle upon arrival.

Before I share my thoughts with Cathay, does anyone know the official policy or have a link? I tried to look on the website but couldn't find interline MCT details. I did see something on CXagents, which indicated 90 minutes for international to domestic, but it was not very specific.

I think it is DL who forced the 6 hours MCT from many non-SkyTeam airlines for I-to-D transfers. If you had a transit of 6 hours or longer, CX would have through-tagged for you. Blame DL, not CX.
