From searching and reading related but not exactly the same info I get the impression I have to:
1) Pass through immigration at YVR and collect luggage
2) Hang around in the airport until the CX flight opens
2) Check-in for CX flight
Is there any way of easing the process? Can I really not check my luggage through from LHR and collect my YVR-HKG boarding pass at LHR?
I'm hoping that I've got it completely wrong and YVR will just be a 'normal' transit!
Thanks.
I've transited there once and I don't remember it being anything special.
Of course if you have two separate tickets with different PNRs and you can't check in your luggage at Heathrow to Hong Kong, then you'll have to leave airside to collect your luggage and do the check in for the second leg.
