A Terminal 2 check-in at Hong Kong Airport doesn’t necessarily mean a Terminal 2 departure gate. The airport uses Terminal 1 gates for the boarding stage and links the relevant controlled areas by people mover.
Where to start
Confirm the operating flight’s check-in location and gate. A T2 check-in assignment alone doesn't mean the aircraft departs from a T2 gate.

Changes and service warnings
Check the effective date and the current operator notice before following a saved route.
Terminal 2 departure facilities opened

What remains to confirm

These records can’t tell you whether your bag is checked through, whether you may enter the country, how long the queues are or whether you have enough time to connect.
