Right, so the A330 experience seems to be a completely different one. Good job MH.

I sure hope so. I have ICN-KUL-AKL//AKL-KUL-IC in J on the 330 in July.

The 738 experience I had 2 years ago was only *ok*. TK

Jz realized that MH does not operate all day checkin at HKG, have always gotten BP at the city counters previously.

This notice was at the airport or at the train station?

Wow, I know Hong Kong is an efficient airport, but isn’t an hour for checking in all passengers still pushing it, even for 160pax?

Perhaps they are expecting a good number to checkin at the city counters? Can’t be that many people travelling hand-carry only between HKG & KUL / onward?

Just to add to the amateurish service on the A330. Hard to believe MH cant get best global talent rather than rely on a very limited local pool. Also only 3 counters at HKG manned by uninterested airport staff.

Hong Kong/Kowloon check in FTW!

Btw, airport check in opens 30mins prior to the listed times for 'premium passengers' (biz/oneworld emerald/sapphire)

The agents appeared only about 5 minutes before the listed time & checkin started at the times stated, there wasnt any premium pax earlier checkin option for the A330.

That was my experience a couple of months ago in the J line: check in opens at time posted. Dis/uninterested check in agents.

sometimes there will be A380, so the check in time will remain unchanged?

Does anyone have any recent data points on the check-in times at HKG? If I am on MH073, can I check-in while the desk is open for MH079? Trying to maximize time in the F lounges
