Cabin Baggage on CX
Hi all CX regulars ... some background: I'm flying next month in Y class next month, HKG/ICN then NRT/HKG. So, question... will I get away with taking my 3-fold (so not too deep) suit bag, AND a small day-pack (the kind you get for free, along with your gym membership)?

I'd really prefer to travel without checked baggage, so how vigilant are CX staff at HKG & NRT? Will my QF oneworld Sapphire status count for anything in this regard?

All advice gratefully accepted. Thanks

It depends on the dimensions of the suit bag. Just ask at check-in HKG for the "orange tags" that let you get through the checkpoint at HKIA. If it's oversize it doesn't matter what CX things...without the orange tags the airport won't let it go on the plane

Not to thread jack but I had my carry on "orange tagged" at the HK station last week even though I had carried that bag with the same bulging load outbound through HKIA twice on this trip and once on five trips last year. are they cracking down at HK?

It has always been quite strict in HKG. Perhaps yours is not oversized anyway.
