So sorry to hear about these difficulties. Seat availability is so tight, and prices stratospheric.
Our last trip was CX in Business from KUL -HKG – LHR in Jan 2020. Bewildered at that time to be accosted by a squad of temperature checkers at HKIA, and was slightly worried that I might be pulled off the flight into quarantine (had mild stomach bug and possibly slight fever after over-indulging on hawker food).
Can’t find anything available on CX Business in the near future, so will possibly attempt slightly tortuous route with SQ F to FRA, then LH connection to LHR. Sadly, this won’t help you with Avios redemption.
To just get back to my original question which i can now answer:
1. You can transit HK airport with no problem whatsoever. At no time was i asked by any official about vaccination status
2. You seem to go through the security check on entry to the transit area after dis-embarking, this was time consuming and in-efficient
and i was very surprised at the line and slowness–took about 45 mins
3. there is nothing open overnight, and when Starbucks opened about 7:30 the line was too long. so bring snacks if this is permitted
-thanks –gregoire
