I have a bag question as it relates to transiting at HKG.. I have a large duffle bag (not crazy huge but def looks big). I get it on no problem within the US with no issues ever. I'll be flying JFK-HKG-SIN in April (crossing fingers). While it will be easy to board with the bag at Jfk I'm curious what transiting at Hkg is like and are they very keen on checking the exact dimensions and size of a bag? It sort of squishes and folds but to the eye it looks big. Be annoying is all to have to go landside & check the bag instead of just being able to clear transit and hit the lounges. Be nice to not have to deal with baggage claim at Sin. This bag is my only shot at making it with carry on for 10 days in Asia as the normal carry on roller wouldnt be enough. Just curious the transit process at HKG and specific to how closely they look at bag size is all.

Thanks
