HKG check-in
Does anyone know what time the SAS check-in at Hong Kong opens? The flight leaves at 0100. I have arranged a late check-out at the hotel where I will be staying, and have lounge access at HKG.

SAS offer railway station check in for their flights so you can turn up at Hong Kong (island) or Kowloon station at any time that day with your bags and at the latest 90 minutes before flight departure, drop your bags and either carry on to the airport or go back and do other things. Even if there's not an SAS sign up just ask any of the *A desks to do it for you.

IME it does. There is usually a star catch-all desk open as well as ones where departures are a bit more imminent.
SQ have checked me in on LX and LH before now. It takes them a couple of minutes to log into a different part of the system but they always do it and are helpful.

The *A check in probably only works at the train stations. It has never worked for me at any airports unless there is an self service check-in with a baggage drop. I don't know if this is the case in HKG.
Have you checked whether your hotel has an airline check-in service?

I am staying at the Regal HK Airport. They do have a check in service, but only for nine airlines. I have only been able to find a list of these nine airlines which is three years old, and SAS was not on that list. I can contact the hotel and find out. Hadn't thought of that, even though I remember seeing the check in terminals last year. Thanks for the reminder😊

SK is handled by SATS, so forget using LX, LH as they are handled by Jardine.
Anyway the counter opens 4 hours before departure, this was for my "supposed" flight in February - the check in people said Scandinavians complained that the counter opens too late (apparently 3 hours before departure is not good enough) so the check in staff have to work 1 hour longer.
Why don't you just tell the hotel to keep your bags while you are out? The hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the lobby to SK check-in counter.

For those among you who favour the am/pm system, that's 8.58pm. For all metric users 2058 is the same. Sometimes written 20.58, 20:58... Sorry, the prospect of 12 hours on something I didn't book has thrown my humour out of the window (see thread about LN-RKP).
