• Gate Baggage Fees will apply to excess Cabin Baggage and Small Personal Item, with a fee of HKD800/pc*.
• Due to limited overhead compartment space, you may still be required to check in your approved carry-on baggage at the boarding gate free of charge. Please line up for boarding early, as overhead compartments are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
