Forms for transit
Got a flight coming up transiting through Hong Kong - is the health declaration form required for transit, or is that just for entering Hong Kong? As I read it you just need to meet requirements of end destination - is that right?
will have PCR result and vax certificate.
will have PCR result and vax certificate.

I know this is far in advance, and who knows what will be happening next September. I have trip September 2022, from KIX to DPS, with an overnight connection in HKG. Am am I able to leave the airport for an overnight connection?

Wondering if I should just rebook my flight home and stay in the Japan the entire time. But at this point the entire trip seems unlikely to happen.

"Passengers from more than 150 nations will be banned from transiting through Hong Kong, the Airport Authority said Friday [January 14] in the latest tightening of the city's strict anti-virus travel measures."

I think I know the answer to this but I'd like to hear it from people in this thread.
I'm looking at traveling from Europe to NZ for Christmas, and the cheapest options all feature a transit in HKG.
I don't think it's a good idea to book such a trip and it's better to stick with SIN.
Would you agree?
Flights would be LH/LX and NZ with possibly a leg on CX. I really don't like my chances of being able to transit (EU/NZ passport holders) and of the CX flights actually happening.
Btw CX sells AMS-HKG-AKL at a very attractive price right now, but it feels like a very risky proposition
Thanks for your opinions!

Has anyone transferred to HKG lately? SFO->HKG-?BKK. I am looking at EWR->HKG->BKK in Jan with 90 minute connection. No problem in the past usually but maybe 90 minutes is too much risk even in Jan if I was to miss that last flight to BKK. I think I am answering my own question

Transit
I’ll be transiting with my 9 year old son at HKG in June. I know I’ll need a negative test but I can’t find anything on line as to whether he needs one; the information says ”every passenger”. Now, that can’t be true (they don’t give infants PCR tests, for instance). Anyone know what the age limit is?
