    Hi,

    Just looking for some advice on this. I plan on flying with cathay pacific via Hong Kong, the stopover times is only 2 hours, just wanted to make sure this would be sufficient time to make my connecting flight?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    you most likely won't even be getting off the plane, it's most likely a refuelling stop with a few passengers getting off and some new ones boarding.

    I got the flight numbers and it shows that I will have to change plane. But it looks like its all in the one terminal. I'm worried cos I've heard Hong Kong airport is massive.

    2 hours is plenty.
    There are lots of very helpful, efficient staff around if you get stuck.
    Sometimes you get issued a sticker so they can keep track of you.

    The only painful thing is that you may have to go through another tedious security control.
    Pretty good duty free though if you can find the time.

    If the airline has scheduled this connection, it's their problem. It's very unlikely that you'll miss your connection but, if you do, they'll sort it out, and they'll feed and water you until they do.

    Two hours is fine as you'll only be going to a different gate.

    Also in my experience you wouldn't want any longer in that airport.
