Thanks for the feedback. We are both in J and QF WP status. So the bags shouldn't be too much of a problem and we'd be early off the plane. I do think, however we'd love to recover in the WING between flights so the 5 hour connection offered by the earlier flight ex SYD may be the go. I think it saves a little bit of stress both in HKG and in DEL - DEL, of course, being the place where stress is not needed before tackling the outside world..
