How do we do it.....
Wife and I arrived early for our afternoon flight from HKG to LHR on CX.
I know where the gate is plenty of time to sit and have the extra coffee.
Strolled to the gate indicator to find gate at the other end of the terminal and required to use the train. Panic now setting in and on arriving at the gate with lots of nice people holding placards for silly pax found our bags were being offloaded...
CX were very good in the circumstances with no fuss and immediately rebooked us onto the next flight that evening. Very good as it was my fault and did I get an ear bashing from HER..
