Thanks. Entry into HKG is not an issue for me. I will chat with CX once I figure out dates.
HKE is annoying, IMHO. Even though they are ostensibly a CX codeshare airline, one cannot book a single ticket to all CX destinations, including Vietnam, which I find odd. And likely HKE is missing out on many CX Oneworld destinations. Seems that was not an issue with Cathay Dragon?
