🟣 Hong Kong Express HKexpress check-in and consignment guide
⭕ Check-in: The check-in counter of Hong Kong Express at Hong Kong Airport opens at 04:30 at the earliest. Most Chinese passports cannot check in online in advance, but in fact, it is useless to check in in advance. Even if there is no checked baggage, you have to arrive one by one. You can only get your boarding pass after your hand luggage is weighed at the counter; many people are worried about being overbooked and not getting a seat, but as long as you reserve enough time to go to the airport, you won't be able to get on even if it is overbooked.

⭕ Luggage:
ㅤ
● Lightweight for flying👜1 piece of handbag (7kg), personal test only checks the weight and not the size. Although the backpack has a requirement of 40*25*20cm, as long as it is not a particularly huge backpack, it will generally not embarrass travelers.
ㅤ
●Economy flights👜🧳2 pieces of hand luggage (total 7kg, of which the suitcase is 56*36*23cm) are ordinary 20-inch boarding cases. You don’t need to worry about the wheels being too long, because the 20-inch boarding cases can be seen at a glance. If you are not overweight, there will be no additional charges. Another piece of carry-on luggage can be a small backpack or crossbody bag. It is not a big problem to put another 1-2kg in the small bag, such as cameras and power bank, which must be carried with you and are heavy. As long as the size is not particularly conspicuous, the counter can also If you know how to be open-minded, if you really meet someone serious, just keep it in your pocket.

● Liquids, pastes and sprays: 🧴A single bottle cannot exceed 100ml and the total volume does not exceed 1L. You can bring it on the plane. Hair wax and hair spray are allowed!
ㅤ
● Carry-on suitcase: 🧳An ordinary 20-inch carry-on suitcase weighs 3-3.3kg, which is very wasteful. If it is a short trip of 3-4 days, it is recommended that you prepare a large-capacity lightweight bag so that you can carry more luggage!
ㅤ
● Checked luggage (paid): I personally tested that 28-inch luggage can be checked, which is enough for a 7-8-day trip for two people. If you have special luggage such as skis or musical instruments, you will need to pay extra.

⭕ Boarding: 🚫Opened drinks and food are not allowed on board, which affects onboard sales and cabin hygiene. The delayed cleaning time is also very valuable for low-cost airlines where every second counts.
ㅤ
⭕Flight experience: All economy class layout, except for special seats, all seats can be reclined. There were not many interruptions, and there were no nonsense or advertisements in the in-flight broadcast. I won’t comment on the rest. After all, the low-cost airline can take me there. The standard service languages are Cantonese and English. Mainland flight attendants can speak Mandarin, but this is not required. There is no "blanket flight" situation and everyone is very friendly. ❤️ Hong Kong and Mainland flight attendants are also very harmonious. After work, We are still exchanging food between the two places (overheard~
