I am scheduled to take CX845 JFK-HKG on Monday, 24 Sep at 01:30AM. As of now, no cancellation yet, but will there be an aircraft at JFK on Sunday night to take me to HKG?
Is it CX 846 HKG-JFK that usually returns as CX845 to HKG? I see that CX846 on 22 Sep is cancelled, which means my flight may be cancelled?

Just checked in at hkia it's kind of mob scene, especially considering it's low season.
5 level depth check in line at normal Y and I have to wait for 10 minutes before I can drop my baggage, and that was 07:30....

After spending 1 hour and 20 minutes in the queue the line was just (11.08pm) disconnected with a message the (Beining) office is now closed. Calling HK from my hotel will be massively expensive.
I will ignore their message and go to the airport tomorrow. Both flights seem to be operating but I would not mind to be rerouted on SQ even though that means me arriving 4 hours after the F1 finishes.
Looking at CNN on the typhoon it does not look pretty...

Many time airport staff will only know very last minute. I was on DPS-CGK flight on KLM some time ago (can see the report on my blog
) by noon, I notice that the AMS-SIN flight will be arriving SIN like 2+ hours late. Hence SIN-DPS will also delay.But DPS still say the flight is on time. Call KLM office in CGK also said they delay info. I have to tweet KLM in AMS to cinfirm that the flight will be delay by 2 hours!! I rather spend my time somewhere else rather in waiting in DPS!!

Looks like the storm is slowing down so that the effect will extend more and more into Monday. Not looking good for my 12:30 pm flight from MNL-HKG and onward connection to Dubai tomorrow.
