I took CX 883 in F last December, checked in after 11 pm and it took at most 10 min to get airside. But I did not have checked baggage, which can take 30+ min at TBIT. The security line was so short that there was no point for CX to escort me through (as they usually do).
Part of the problem at TBIT are that the lines are unpredictable, and vary from 5 min to 50 min quite suddenly. But 90% of the time it is pretty good; only that worst 10% ever gets reported on the web. Still better than MIA and even JFK, as a point of comparison.
