Cathay Pacific Advances Boarding Times, Closing Gates 15 Minutes Before Departure from June

Cathay Pacific announced that starting June 1, boarding gates for all its flights will close 15 minutes before departure, which is 5 minutes earlier than the current policy. Additionally, all flights departing from Hong Kong International Airport will begin boarding 5 minutes earlier. The airline explained that late arrivals often require unloading checked baggage, leading to flight delays. Cathay urges passengers to check their boarding passes and arrive at the gate on time for a smoother experience.
