Dear all,

My first post to the CX forum. At the weekend I am travelling in CX F to Sydney, connecting via HKG. Change of plane involved.

My question is basically what to expect and to seek hints and tips on how to make the most of the experience. I would really appreciate some general advice and tips based on recent traveller experience on this route.

Now for a a couple of specific queries. I'll be connecting to LHR from BA long haul arriving in T1, and will have access to the BA Arrivals lounge through BA status. The CX flight departs from LHR T3. Is it worth me travelling directly to T3 on arrival to experience the CX (F?) lounge, or better to spend some time in BA T1 Arrivals lounge, how do they compare etc?

When I connect in HKG, is it easy to find the lounge, do you advise to go directly to the lounge, prior to next flight? Do they make flight announcements?

Thanks to you in advance all for your advice.
