Boarding passes at JFK
Now, I'm going to leave from JFK to HKG. Last time I was on the same flight and they ripped the boarding pass..... I want to keep the pass as a souvenir.
Therefore, I need to ask, does anybody know if JFK Cathay staff rip the boarding passes? Is it possible to keep the ripped portion?
My flight is CX 845 (red eye flight).
Thank you.

Ripping BP can be station dependent, airline dependent or country dependent.
Mainland I believe everything, most of 3rd world does the same.
MH always seems to rip too.
AA/YYZ is the same.
You want an extra bp, either 1) ask at counter for an extra or 2) say you lost it about 1 hr prior at the gate and you need a duplicate.
Or you can OLCI, don't show at the counter and ask for a bp at the check-in counter and when you board, let them rip the OLCI copy instead.
Just a couple ways to do it
If it's mainland, make sure you do it the right way or you will piss off China Immigration and possibly get Denied Boarding.

Depends on a per passenger basis as well. Sometimes for certain pax if a message pops up on the screen, they will rip the boarding pass even if they are not doing so for other pax in general.

I just want to keep my boarding pass as a souvenir, they didn't rip off the portion when I boarded in HKG so I wish they didn't take away the big portion when I leave from JFK......
