Note that the CX and QF lounges do not generally operate overnight. If you plan to take airport express to the airport, you can also check your bag at Hong Kong or Kowloon station, on the day or the day before.
Thanks for the reply - it will not be through the airport express. It will be a bag drop direct in the airport as I have already checked in on the app. From my understanding, one is only allowed to bag drop/ go through the security into the departure lounge 3 hours before the flight departs - or am I mistaken ?
