I believe that HKG is now also using this across all gates/destinations. |
Just got a Group 6 boarding pass on the 438-seater 777... gulp...
What's the likelihood of finding bin space or any chance/risk of being forced to gate-check one's hand baggage like the airlines in US or EU? |

just came across a discussion post on lihkg (a hk local online forum) about a passenger in the front section, i.e. the last group to board, was not happy that her carry-on suitcase couldn't be placed above her, while people around her were mostly members with priority boarding and the ability to choose the seats in the front section of the cabin before check in opens

(Honestly I don't get the enthusiasm by my countrymen for A321XLR https://www.australianfrequentflyer....conomy-review/ . Probably, only on a 737-800 vs A321XLR basis only.) |

At bus gates, not just @HKG, G1 means you board the bus first. Alighting the bus is a free for all.

Qantas allows linked bookings (presumably by TCP) to use higher boarding group.
BA requires one booking to use higher boarding group. If CX apes BA rather than Qantas, I can’t board family members with me. Holy cow, I’m front enough for my mother to be Group 7 if sitting next to me - she’s not unstable enough on her feet to be reduced mobility just yet. Stupid me for breaking each family member into their own booking to enjoy HSBC300 repeatedly. Clarification: at OLCI. I was expecting to have to go to desk to get Group 1 for mother, if at all. |

My mother (no status) got CX Group 1 when travelling in me even on separate booking - I don’t think this is a 75yo thing so it must be from the TCP info I entered?

Cathay also allows linked bookings to have the same boarding group. If you and your mother were checking in together, chances are the check-in agent linked your bookings together and would therefore get the same boarding group.

Came back to Hong Kong from Shanghai Pudong tonight on CX 369. Half-full flight. Group Boarding was two lines only...Groups 1/2/3 and Groups 4/5/6/7.
