Hong Kong recently added this, called In-town Check-in [1]. You can check in and drop your bags at the MTR Hong Kong station when taking the Airport Express. Can even drop off the bags up to a day in advance. Currently only open to Cathay Pacific customers though.

- ghaff 3y agoYeah, any airline could set something like this up. Cathay has always had pretty primo service though.
- 20kleagues 3y agoThis is not a recent addition. It is more than 10 years old but was shut down during Covid. They are slowly starting to bring it back. It also wasn’t restricted to just Cathay before, but a large number of major airlines had counters at HK Station for check-in services. It’s wonderful - you can check in your bags before heading to work in the morning and in the evening take the train to the airport directly.
- forgingahead 3y agoIt's not recent - I have been using it since the mid-2000s, it's fantastic. It might have been shut during COVID, and just re-opened though.
- mlrtime 3y agoI used it over 10 years ago too, It's great if you can use it. There are still a lot of stipulations though. Right airline, right boarding time etc... It's not available for 100% of flights out of HKG.
