  • 234 posts

    I’ve been trawling for information on the HK in-town AirPort Express service where you can get shot of luggage hours beforehand . We have a BA 11 pm departure and want to be unencumbered on our last day . All I can find relates to Cathay Pacific . Does anyone know if this service is available to BA. / other airlines ?

    I’m sure someone will be along to confirm but I think it was suspended during Covid and hasn’t be fully reinstated yet.

    That’s correct, it is currently in operation between 6am and 3pm for CX flights at Hong Kong station only.

    It may never resume the pre-covid service as there seems to be a plan to make it mostly automated self-service, however this may not be workable given that a large proportion of users will likely be PRC citizens who require manual checking of visas to many destinations.

    Yes, I read that. Just wondered if it had been updated to use with other airlines. Looks like storing bags at hotel. Staying at MO on Island, but wanted to head to airport after our late afternoon tea at The Peninsula. Oh well, just a minor blip really

    Yup, unfortunately this has been Cathay Pacific only since it came back post-COVID. BA check in at the airport opens around 20:00
