SYD CX earliest check in time
Hi, would anyone here know what time the earliest check in could be for
CX 100 (SYD - HKG) departing 3:50pm? Would I be able to check in luggage in the morning?
Alternatively, if travelling HBO but with an infant, would I be able to do OLCI?

I'll stick my neck out a bit
I arrived in YVR 6 hours early for CX889 YVR-HKG two months ago.
But they were checking in CX888 YVR-JFK
The GA (CX own) was happy to check me in and let me start my lounge crawl.
SYD is also CX own, so (fingers crossed) you should be able to get away with it?

Check in landside any time within 3 hours prior any CX departing flight. You can do OLCI, if you have no check in luggage you can print the BP on paper and proceed through immigration if check in is not open (no mobile BP AFAIK). But I guess with the infant you have check in landside. What is HBO?

Yes I thought that one could OLCI - but there's a complication with the infant perhaps...
But if others say I can check in as long as a counter is open, perhaps that could work

At SYD, you check in at any time when counter's open. so that means you can check in from as early as 5:40am to around 10:30 in the morning (summer time), so yes, you can check in and drop your luggage any time before counter close for CX162.

CX110 leaves later in the Australian summer season, around 8:30/8:40 hence the 5:40am 3 hours rule.
CX110 leaves 7:30am in the winter hence 4:30am.
I'll be taking that flight in the next few weeks. Ungodly hour, thankfully I live close to the airport.

I’m taking CX138 on Saturday that departs SYD at 21:55, would anyone know what time counters open? I’m afraid the most I could get for late check out at the hotel is 3pm.

3 hours before the flight. If you don't check luggage, you can OLCI and print the BP at the hotel (no mobile BP I believe) and get there as early as you like. Proceed to gate ~20 mins before boarding for document check or they will be calling you.
If you check luggage you will have to wait until 7pm as QF doesn't offer bag drop services for CX.

You can check in whenever the counter's open.... However that will mean an extra trip to the airport as the previous flight CX100 departs 14:15 and I think the regular check in counters close 45 minutes before departure and the service desk will open until very close to departure (depends if there were no shows I guess). So if you can be at the airport before 2pm, you can check in all your bags.
