Layover at HKG
So I am looking at flights from CGK to JFK over the summer, and CX is running a fantastic promotion that’s super affordable. I have two flight options from CGK to JFK, and they are as follows:
OPTION 1
CX718 [IMG]https://book.cathaypacific.com/pl/CathayPacificV2/wds/cui-cathay_26.2_ACE2_ProdMaintenance.36_030316/img/icon_logo_cx.gif[/IMG] CGK 08:20 HKG 14:20
CX846 [IMG]https://book.cathaypacific.com/pl/CathayPacificV2/wds/cui-cathay_26.2_ACE2_ProdMaintenance.36_030316/img/icon_logo_cx.gif[/IMG] HKG 18:45 JFK 22:40
OPTION 2
CX776 [IMG]https://book.cathaypacific.com/pl/CathayPacificV2/wds/cui-cathay_26.2_ACE2_ProdMaintenance.36_030316/img/icon_logo_cx.gif[/IMG] CGK 14:25 HKG 20:25
CX830 [IMG]https://book.cathaypacific.com/pl/CathayPacificV2/wds/cui-cathay_26.2_ACE2_ProdMaintenance.36_030316/img/icon_logo_cx.gif[/IMG] HKG 09:15 +1 JFK 13:05 +1
I think I’ll have a much easier time adjusting to the time zone with the latter flight, so I was thinking I stay at the Regal Airport Hotel. However, since that’s landside, it does mean I’ll have to exit immigration first, and I can’t find info on whether I can exit airside or not on this fare. I realize that this may or may not be a stopover, but I don’t mind if I don’t collect my baggage. Will I have any trouble exiting and re-entering if stopovers aren’t allowed?
(Still a bit of a newbie at this =) )
You should be fine exiting the airport, even if you check bags all the way to JFK
