Wenzhou - 40 mins before check-in workable?

Wenzhou Longwan International Airport

According to this, check-in desks close 40 minutes prior to departure. I'm potentially running a very tight schedule and I'm wondering whether I should try to catch a flight from Wenzhou if I can only arrive 45-60 minutes before the flight. If I get to the airport, say, 45 minutes before departure will I actually be able to make it onto the CX flight? Hand carry only, no check in.

Thanks in advance for any experience that people can share.

Definitely not. Wenzhou INT side is barebone operation. The people would leave early when they assumed all pax are checked in. You can try on your own risk, but as someone that frequents WZ INT side I definitely wouldn't. My experience is they are very unprofessional, do it at your own risk.

Thanks for the reply. Will not attempt this then and instead go to Hangzhou and catch a flight the next morning.

I think I already know what the reply is likely to be - but I'm going to ask anyway.

Is the APT VIP Lounge (CX contract lounge) a place where one could spend 2 hours? What is the food and drink offering like?
