I have a question relating HK airport transit. My friend and I have booked a beach holiday in Cebu, she will fly from UK first(British passport) and then stay in HK for a few days before our trip. The problem is, on our way back she will have to wait for 9 hours at HK airport before her onward flight back to London. In this case would she be allowed to go out of the airport with her luggage checked in all the way through transit? Anyone had similar experience?
If it is ok to leave the airport then we could plan something else to do instead of her waiting around for such a long time. Thanks in advance!
