HKG-MNL
Any idea what will/might happen to HKG-MNL flights on 14 Sep evening and 15 Sep morning? I’ll arrive in HKG from the US on 14 Sep evening. The flights are (not yet?) cancelled, but only the late afternoon flight on 15 Sep seems still bookable ... |
I was supposed to be on the IAD inaugural flight but cancelled because of warnings over the South Carolinas hurricanes. Instead I rebooked myself a ex-TPE flight on Saturday, but now I am wondering if I should head towards TPE tonight (Friday) and just stay put at the airport, or should I try to leave on Saturday earliest flight to TPE?
worry the connection (1 hr) between HKG-TPE and TPE-HKG will be way too short. Better safe than sorry I guess? |
I was transiting HKG (USA->India) on Sunday 16th but changed to transit on Saturday instead. My original flight had been zeroed out but the new one wasn't. Now the new flights are zeroed out...any cause for concern?
|
I have a paid business class ticket and connecting in HKG on my way to Canada on the 16th. Will Cathay re-book me on any other airlines, or only OneWorld once the flight is cancelled? Tried calling them twice, and hung up after holding for hours. Also, will it be in business class or whatever class is available?

Traveling to PVG tomorrow (15th), CX proactively sent and email informing me that they will protect me on a partner airline....they when I checked my app...it looks like they confirmed me on a MNL-PVG direct flight on MU for SUNDAY the 16th.
I had to call back and have them reinstate my CX flight because there is no way I'm flying MU. |

I had to call back and have them reinstate my CX flight because there is no way I'm flying MU. The problem is that the typhoon will be near MNL on Saturday. I strongly doubt that CX will wish to cross the typhoon. By Sunday the typhoon will have passe MNL and a flight MNL-PVG on MU would be safer. But if you don't like MU... |

I cancelled my flight and rebooked a direct flight using another non-oneworld carrier, hearing this news/hypothesis.
3 times the price, but hey, I need to be there... :( |

not sure if this is a 100% CX ticketed Reloc ??? from the calls I am dealing with right now, on CX ticketed flights...... there is no specific reaccommodation to other airlines...... if your flights go from/to hkg 16-18 Sep then you can move before or after those dates, subj to all their published conditions...... if there is no business class, then downgrade option might be possible subj to checking but not sure what sort of refund could be obtained if any... but other airlines not an option right now as far as I know.....
I am happy to fly from Europe where this airlines has to rebook me on any other flight. Will be fun on saturday. I see myself on Thai to DPS. |
I'm on a JFK-HKG flight departing 9/18 and landing 9/19... does "arriving to and departing from Hong Kong between 16 September and 18 September 2018" mean that change fees will or won't be waived for my flight? I would prefer to keep the flight if it's going to fly, but I want to know my options.

Just FYI for everyone, I have booked my trip originally from Sept 14-16 via Expedia on Hong Kong Airline - affiliated with CX. They have refunded 100%, and Expedia agent is in touch with hotel regarding accommodation. Seems like they are allowing cancellation overall, from the looks of this, the typhoon will likely be affecting Hong Kong Airport in general.

16th is the ugly day.

It's just going to suck. Sorry not to be more inspirational. But these crazy weather situations, while rare, happen from time to time.
