There’s no departing flights, so you’ll just have a long unplanned vacation in HK

Why would you fly through there? If a city was going through major political unrest and had already occupied the airport? I would bet you can get a refund and rebook a different route (potentially on a different airline).

Just avoid HK... safety first.

For the record (not OP) but we were rerouted. Hilariously Cathay still has not officially cancelled that flight - in my American app it still shows me as arriving into hkg in two hours. Seems like they might need some help

Following. Flying there today and connecting on. How screwed am I?

Good luck getting through the terminal and into downtown when you land

Don’t go now, try asking airline to re route the stopover to your destination citing the violent protests, I’m hoping airlines should have waiver for this. No flight is departing as of now.

You might get in but risk not getting out. So don't even consider it.

Check the flyertalk thread in the Cathay forum. Good crowdsoruced information.

Airside transit looks fine, departures is sketchy, reports of some protesters trying to block security. Although police might be keeping a path open rn.

You can leave via train to China or ferry to Macau then depart from those airports.

OP - keep us posted on how it goes!

Changed my flight to Shenzhen.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

The Home Depot (from a previous vendor)

Cons:

- Interfaced with a few different people, all of whom seemed miserable.

- Very rigid brand — difficult to have fun.

- There’s not much trust or freedom for anyone. Just a cutthroat corporate prison.

- HQ built like a prison: few windows, thick security, & drab colors for miles. Their campus parking garage would experience its own rush hour gridlock with cars at a standstill waiting for the light outside to turn green so they could hop on 285
