Question Check-in at normal counter when fly to US

May I check-in at normal Y counter when I take a US flight ex-HKG and haven't checked bag? (I have 1 cabin bag only)

Why don't you check in at the Airport Express station? You can now check in and receive boarding passes on flights to USA.

I had read that in town check-in to US was suspended due to the heightened security alert/liquids ban. Has this changed again recently?

Cathay Pacific has an excellent website - it is far more efficient surely to go and read this information there than asking questions here?

Just flew ex-HKG this past Saturday on CX873 to SFO. In-town check-in remains a no-go. Check-in at the airport is business as usual (we used the same counter as we always have) with one catch- you now have to go through a secondary screening process for flights to the US and the UK. They are using the Southwest concourse (gates 40-50) for these flights. This secondary screening process took about 35 minutes. When you arrive at these gates, you are likely to see a number of different lines. Each line is for a different flight so make sure you stand in the correct one!
