CX check-in at JFK
Booked a redemption from JFK-HKG.
Is it right that I can't use the BA desks? Used them last time but they're saying to use the Cathay desks and naturally they don't open until 5:30pm.
What about security? Queue up with the other few 1000 people or can I use the one near the BA desks.

You can only check-in with the operating carrier, so therefore you will have to wait for the CX desks to open.
The Fast Track lane opposite BA First check-in is for BA and OpenSkies premium passengers only. There is another Fast Track lane adjacent to the regular security screening area, which will bring you out conveniently next to the Galleries First and Club lounges.

I imagine incase of delays or other logistical issues. They can always update and inform passengers closer to flight dates.
