Oneworld redemption (CX+AY)
Hi,
Trying to book an award ticket SIN-HEL in J for later this year. There is no availability on the direct AY flight to HEL, but I can see availability on CX SIN-HKG & AY HKG-HEL. I can price this as one ticket on American (CX + AY) but not on Alaska. Any chance the partner desk would be able to ticket this over the phone?
Mods, feel free to move the most appropriate thread if needed. Thanks!

simonsuo as long as he doesn't pass through immigration/enter the country*. If he does, airline will likely ask for the required testing doc. There was an AA thread of someone being denied boarding tickets at the counter related to this.
Cathay seems to indicate you can check baggage through, on whatever "interline" partner means. So maybe you can just stay airside.

I did the form for my flight HND-HKG 3 weeks ago but nobody asked for it before/after the flight. Assume it's randomly checked now.

Standardising pre-departure testing requirements
--------------------------------------
All inbound persons (aged three or above on the date of arrival at Hong Kong), regardless of being from the Mainland, Macao, Taiwan or overseas places, are required to conduct an RAT within 24 hours, or undergo a polymerase chain reaction-based nucleic acid test within 48 hours, prior to the scheduled time of flight departure (for those entering Hong Kong via the airport) or the scheduled time of arrival at Hong Kong (for those entering Hong Kong via other boundary control points), and obtain a negative result for entering Hong Kong. Upon receiving the test results, relevant persons should keep the photos showing the test results or the test report for 90 days for presentation for checking on request by Government personnel. They may also voluntarily declare the test result via the Department of Health's electronic health declaration form.

Based on my experience, I don't think you will have any problem.

Regarding the through-check of baggage, CX do honour and through-check separate oneworld tickets provided your travel is starting with CX. AS, QR, MH, UL, JL also through-check separate oneworld tickets.
However, if it’s BA, AA, IB, AY (though they do when it’s AY-AY) or QF (they also do QF-QF and QF-oneworld if the latter oneworld is an award booking), then the answer’s no.
