You can check in and have your boarding pass issued at Shenzhen International Airport (SZIA) for flights departing from Hong Kong, before taking cross-boundary land transport to Hong Kong International Airport.
Upon arrival at the airport in Hong Kong, if you have baggage to check in, you can go to the Self Check-In Bag Drop Counter. Without check-in baggage, you can proceed straight through to Immigration, speeding up the process of getting to your flight.
Passengers departing from Shenzhen will need to arrive at SZIA at least 180 minutes before the scheduled departure time of their flight at Hong Kong International Airport.
Checking in at our Hub is hassle-free, quick and convenient. The check-in counters are located on Level 7 - the same level where you arrive at the airport (whether by train or bus).
Baggage trolleys are available free of charge, and you only need to take a short walk before reaching our check-in counters in Aisle H, Terminal 1 of the Check-in Hall.

Through Check-in
In order to maximise convenience for passengers with onward connections on other carriers, our Through check-in service allows passengers to obtain boarding passes for their onward flights. This service also applies to passengers from certain destinations who have same-day onward flights on Dragonair. Our Through Check-in service partner airlines include Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Qantas Airways, Eva Air, Swiss International Airlines, Japan Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Air China.
Return Check
Dragonair passengers travelling from Hong Kong to Beijing v.v. or to Kaohsiung v.v. can use our Return Check service. Passengers will receive both their outbound and inbound boarding passes at the original departure point, provided that their return flight is on the same day or the following day and that the booking is confirmed. Valid travel documents must also be presented at time of check-in.
Note: In compliance with the requirements from Hong Kong Civil Aviation, Cathay Pacific will implement a full reconciliation of passenger travel document check at the boarding gate of Hong Kong International Airport, by comparing the name on the passenger's boarding pass with the name in the travel document, and by comparing the photograph in the document with the passenger.
