So last night at HKG no surprises the HKG team had it in hand. Probably one of the most organised outstations along with some of the others that seem consistently on point.
Those of you who travel this route regularly know they have a special lane for Group 1 and First (when operating) in the centre of the boarding area.
They then asked Group 1 to start queuing in this area. Then I said I was Group 0 - the member of the boarding team then went and got a supervisor who allowed us to stand adjacent to Group 1 but in a separate lane.
We were the only Group 0 (unless others boarded later).
Got on first before Group 1.
So HKG is a yes.
