Travellers flying Australia’s Qantas Airways can check in for their flights and drop off their luggage at Hong Kong’s in-town counters starting next week, taking the number of airlines offering the service to three.

Qantas passengers could use the service at either Hong Kong MTR station or Kowloon MTR station connected to the Airport Express line from Monday, the MTR Corporation said on Saturday.
Currently, only Cathay Pacific Airways and Hong Kong Airlines provide such service.
The hours of operation for the in-town check-in are 7am to 6pm at Hong Kong station and 7am to 3pm at Kowloon station. Passengers can use the service 24 hours before departure and up to 90 minutes before their flight leaves.
“After the addition of Qantas Airways to the service, there will be a total of three airlines providing in-town check-in service. The MTR Corp has coordinated with airlines to provide such service,” the rail operator said.
