To the OP:
As other posters imply, your gate selection can really be random, but within 1-80 (aka 500+ remote gates technically possible, but rather unlikely). KA/CX assigned gates from HKIA I think right now are 1-4 (all), 40-49 (odd), 60-71 (all), and 21-33 (odd).
However, HKIA and all the airlines change up the regular gates from time to time. Unsure when the next change is. And anyway, CX/KA are such a large portion of HKG flights they will inevitably have half the gates anyway. Bottom line is that flight doesn't necessarily have a regular gate.
Thanks for this. A related lounge question. Wife plans to use F lounge after depositing teen kids in J lounge for a bit (they enjoy the independence, she enjoys the F side of things). As I recall, the Wing logistics might make this a bit easier, since - once in - F pax can drift into J fairly easily, no? Whereas Pier one has to go up an escalator, walk, and then descend again?
