I think CX 1st class check in is quite unique in the industry...

I have never experienced that yet. But i wanna ask, how will they check ur baggage in as there is no belt?

I always think SQ 1st class check in at SIN T2 is great, they hv a dedicated room for checking in, agent, PORTER service...

Will CX offer porter service or limo service juz like wat VS does?

CX odes not have Limo service ex HKG, but on certain fares they have it in LHR. As afra as I know there are no porter service (but maybe different for VIPS and INs)

How the checkin works in the F Class section is once you approach the counter a baggaage handler(well they are dressed in CX uniform so they are porters) will take your trolley/luggage immediately and they will put a special F Class priority tag onto the bags, these tags are serial numbered and you are you will be given a tab for each bag. Normally if there are not a lot of people the porter will immediately give these tabs to the CSO to enter in the CUPID system.

So once you complete the checkin at the podium, they will print out the bag tabs with the serial number on it. This will be matched to the bags already at the belt and be bag tags will be attached to the luggage and it will be sent down the conveyor belt.

IMO it is an excellent idea. Also the porter at the checkin podium can help with packing on the spot if you need a courtesy box.

Where exactly is the new F check in? Its far away from the regular check in right? Would it provide quicker access to the f lounge?

Did you not look at the link on the first post?

First Class Check-in
Our First Class passengers can now experience Cathay Pacific’s new and improved First Class services at the Hong Kong International Airport, where a total of ten new dedicated check-in podiums await you.

The redesigned check-in podiums incorporate the latest in computer and flat screen technology, ensuring that every check-in is as smooth and efficient as possible. Your personal check-in screen allows you to access estimated departure and arrival times, boarding gate numbers, the weather at your next destination and other important flight information, as well as your Club miles and Asia Miles balance.


First Class: Aisle B
No, it does not provide you quicker access to the F lounge.

Considering this was from 2006, this is not new anymore. Anyone who's walked down the Cathay aisle at HKG would've seen them.

And considering all check-in counters are before security checks, I'm not sure how it would've provided quicker access to the lounges vs. regular check-in counters anyways.

Yes, I saw the link. I recall seeing some trip report pics and it appeared to be in corner area of the airport. I haven't been to Isle B at HKIA so I asked where it is in relation to Y check-in which is in Isle C.

Common sense would tell you that aisle B and C is couple miles apart, at the opposite end of the airport.....

Were you aware that HKIA actually have their own website?
www.hongkongairport.com Shocking news 'eh?

hqly2001 is not saying HKG has T3, he's just saying he has seen that before somewhere else so common sense doesn't always apply.

It is getting off-topic. In my opinion, the question was answered. This thread is also old. I am closing this thread.
