Is 1 hour enough for a connecting flight in Hong Kong?

Is an hour enough for a connecting flight in Hong Kong? Honestly, an hour can be enough, but whew, it’s cutting it close! I’d say it’s kinda risky. I mean, imagine sprinting through a massive airport like Hong Kong International – it’s HUGE. I remember once, I had a connection in Heathrow that was supposed to be an hour and a half, and my incoming flight was delayed just a bit. Ended up practically running a marathon to make my connection, heart pounding like crazy! Talk about stressful.

So yeah, in Hong Kong, you might make it in an hour, but realistically you’re aiming for 45 minutes to an hour just for the transfer itself, even if everything goes perfectly. And think about it – what if you have to collect your luggage or get a new boarding pass at the transfer desk? That eats up precious time. Don’t even get me started if you’re flying in on a different airline – sometimes it adds another layer of complexity. It’s definitely something to consider. Wouldn’t you rather have a little extra time to grab a coffee or something than be a nervous wreck the whole time? Just sayin’.
