JULY 2011 - MANILA VISA OFFICE (Applicants for July - let's chat!)

 @ rockshock_zid:   That's more than enough time. Hnd mo na need magtrain just have to look for the gate number by your flight number na nkapost sa electronic boards nila which is everywhere nman sa airport tpos follow mo lang mga directions. Hindi ka maliligaw, just read the signs and arrows. Ung mga baggage sa toronto mo na un pipick-upin. Don't worry in any case you can always ask nman ung mga attendants sa HK.

 @ AJW and flyinga

Thanks for prompt advise

i'm planning to book my flight via cathay pacific (from manila to Toronto with connecting flight via hongkong)

however, there's only 2 Hours stop over at HK to transfer to the next flight. Tingin nyo ba enough na itong 2 hours para ma-transfer ako sa next flight? Sabi ng iba, sobrang laki daw ang HK Int'l Airport. Sometimes you need to ride a train? or a bus? to reach the boarding gate. Totoo ba ito? Nagwowori talaga ako baka kulang ang 2 hours ko. 1st time ko pa naman sumakay ng eroplano 

since the same airline naman ang sasakyan ko, kailangan ko pa bang pickupin ulit ung check-in baggage ko and check-in again to the next 2nd flight?

Hi u don't need to worry, i know the feeling pag first time, but then just enjoy ur trip and as long marunong kang magbasa di ka mawawala. Hand carry mo lang dala mo sa connecting flight mo. un luggage bag mo sa destination airport na ang kuha. Tip lang medyo bilisan mo lang ang lakad papuntang connecting flight mo pra kahit pano may time ka pang mag relax pag nakita mo na ang gate mo pra sa sunod mong flight. Hanapin mo muna ang next gate mo before ka maningin sa paligid. hehehe Happy trip sa u!

I'VE BEEN TO HONG KONG. YEAH THE AIRPORT WAS BIG COMPARED TO OTHER AIRPORTS THAT I'VE SEEN BUT IT WON'T TAKE AN HOUR FOR YOU TO GET TO THE NEXT FLIGHT. GOODLUCK!

Hi, Okey yung 2 hours as long as walang delayed sa flight mo. kasi minsan may mga pasahero na matigas ang ulo hindi bumabalik agad after mag board kaya nadedelay yung flight. Pinipage pa sila para sumkay na sa plane.
Pagdating mo ng HKG ang alm ko sumakay ako ng train kasi mag trasfer ka ng terminal. kung cathay airline ka.

Goodluck sa pag alis mo. Kakayanin naman yung 2 hours waiting time as long as no delayment. No need to claim your baggage dadaan kalang ulit sa security screening kasi papasok ka sa another terminal.

Tama si AJW usually pag connecting flight paglabas mo ng plane at naka enter ka ng hallway ng airport may mga naka abang ng crew lalo na sa mga connecting flight kung anong airline ang susunod iga guide ka nila, basta always make sure na hawak mo or alam mo ang next connecting flight details mo. Yung check in luggage mo sa Canada mo na makukuha yun kung san lalapag ang plane na sinakyan mo.

Ilang beses na rin ako naka enter sa HK airport malaki talaga sya pagkakatanda ko may gate 82 pa sila, malinis, malamig, malaki, maraming shops, at bukod sa free Wi-Fi free computer malapit sa mga gates   medyo hirap lang pag nagtanong kasi most of the staff di marunong mag English.

Last year lang galing kami ni hubby from Singapore then HK ang dami kong napagtanungan kung san ang information about sa Bus stand ng mga hotel kasi sa Tsim Shat Tsui pa kami papuntang Kowloon Hotel. Pero dont worry ok basta sundin mo kung ano ang nakalagay sa ticket mo at tignan mo yung hawak ng mga crew na sign guide ka naman nila at wag mo kakalimutan magbitbit ng jacket ok.

 Have a nice trip ...  

[rockshock_zid]

wow! dami naman reply sa post ko. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng advise. Kahit papano nabawasan ang kaba ko haha! mahirap talaga pag first time sumakay ng eroplano haha! lalo na pag international flight.

1 more question po, sa HK ba, mayrun pa bang procedure na eche-check pa nila ang travel document ko sa HK immigration counter section?

or deretso na kaagad ako sa pagkuha ng next boarding pass at proceed agad ako sa boarding gate? Or possible din bang ibibigay na dito sa Manila Airport ang 2nd flight boarding pass ko?

From my experience when I have flown via Cathay Pacific, they give you all your boarding passes when you check-in at NAIA.
When you arrive at HK airport, just read the signs heading towards Connecting Flights.  You will be passing through
a special line where an airport staff will just check if you have travel documents.  You can see from the direction signs if you need to
board the train or not depending on your next flight's gate.

Don't worry, HK Airport might be huge but you wouldn't get lost. 2 Hours is good, because it might only take you about 20 mins to
go to your boarding gate.  You'll have plenty of time to shop around.  There are also computer terminals with wi-fi that you can use while waiting
for your flight.  Drinking water fountains are near almost every wash rooms. Good luck!
