amidoingitright?

Considering this will be a Friday a.m. flight to HAN, how early should we be back at the airport?
Yes, that should work. HKExpress officially closes the boarding gate 30 minutes before scheduled departure. So I would say 06:30 at the airport to be safe, but 06:45 should be OK if you're comfortable getting around airports.
