Hello, I bought a ticket from turkish airlines to Bangkok with a change in Hong Kong, I can't check in online for this flight. So I am completely stupid to ask, I am flying with hand luggage only, so I get off the plane and look for the counter with the next flight number to Bangkok, where they check me in and then I only go to the gate, do I understand correctly? Because otherwise, when I check in online, I go straight to the gate....I don't want to get caught out....we have almost 2 hours to make this connection, can it be done okay? Thanks for the advice 😁
So I don't really understand why anyone buys a ticket with Turkish to BK via HK, but so be it. If it's all on one booking, then you get both boarding passes right at check-in in Prague. In HK you go straight to the gate.
You must check in physically at the airport, not online.
And have you experienced the physical check-in at this airport? What kind of time do you need to allow for?
It meant the airport in Prague
