Nolounge wasn't condescending, he was making a practical suggestion to save everyone's time.

nolounge was obviously condescending with his tone but I think he is right to do so when you're acting as if you're entitled to something when you're not. There are even EU apps https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pass...535428814?mt=8 and https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ity.dg.android on extraordinary circumstances and weather.

The subject sounds misleading. The storm is nowhere near HKG to influence disruption in flight ops. What makes you think the delay is related to the storm
Edit later: this is a massive disruption. |

fwiw, my relative's KA flight to HGH was cancelled tomorrow, a full 24 hours in advance. As well as apparently most KA flights before noon on the 23rd and a ton of CX flights either delayed or cancelled. It's one of the most serious proactive cancellations I've seen in a while.
Edit later: this is a massive disruption. Kudos to CX for the proactive WX arrangements but the point that I was trying to get at was, no one know for certain how the inclement weather would affect flight ops |
Hundreds of Cathay Pacific, Cathay Dragon flights to be cancelled as Hato nears Hong Kong http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/h...e-temperatures

You can use our ticket waiver to change your travel plan to avoid disruption." I called Cathay but because the ticket is owned by Alaska, they can't change anything. Called alaska and they said because I already completed the first leg, nothing can be changed anymore. Not sure what I should do because both parties have told me to contact the other. |
Just got an email that my flight CX780 SUB-HKG has been canceled for tomorrow.

As I understand it, you're already en route and only transiting in HKG? If so, it's the operating airline who will need to re-book you if they cancelled your original flight since the journey started already.
What do you mean by 'impacted'? So far none of the HKG-SYD flights for tomorrow have been cancelled (at least based on the CX website) so there's nothing to be done as your original flight is still scheduled to operate. "We are closely monitoring Tropical Cyclone Hato and its potential impact to our flight operations. Currently all flight operations remain normal, but we expect disruptions to flights in and out of Hong Kong on Wednesday, 23 August. Special ticketing guidelines have been issued, waiving rebooking and rerouting fees; we advise customers to amend your travel plans if possible, to avoid disappointment." I tried to follow it but calling in to see what options I had, but because it's an award ticket from AS they said I had to contact them. I called AS and they said no changes can be made after any legs have been completed. I think I will need to wait until the flight has been officially cancelled and hopefully I can go through cathay to reschedule. I was just trying to be proactive as the text and email suggested I do. But doesn't seem I am able to under the current circumstances. |
A warning to folks - this is one of the more severe cancellations in some time
Whether or not it's warranted remains to be seen, but CX and KA have delayed or cancelled more flights proactively for Hato than I can remember.
I highly advise getting to the airport early to sort things out. The MPC and Reservations line have been a mess all afternoon. Sounds like no fun. |
I'm on cx715 tonight, delayed to 2155 the earliest at the moment.

How is it possible to get to the airport if a signal 8 is issued?

Buses and trains will operate where possible for a T8 but everything above ground shuts down if it goes to T9/10. |
