Nearly booted of the plane because of VOA not covering return date

I suggest you don't get caught in Hong Kong with a fake airline boarding pass in your pocket..... "Under the Immigration Ordinance, anyone who [COLOR="#FF0000"]possesses[/COLOR] or uses a forged travel document commits an offence. Offenders are liable to prosecution and, upon conviction, to a maximum fine of $150,000 and imprisonment for 14 years." June 17, 2014. The above link refers to a case where some Hong Kong citizens were altering boarding passes and ID's for sale to mainland Chinese who legally cross the land border into Hong Kong. The passes were not used, but found in possession, while the Chinese were being interrogated for another crime, and linked back to the culprits who faked them. The Hong Kong citizens were jailed between 35 and 43 months while the Chinese were jailed between 15 and 22 months.

Markit wroteSee picture: [ATTACH=CONFIG]2334[/ATTACH] I maintain that this is no more a "travel document" than a laundry list is a pair of socks. I have used same to get around the problem mentioned. Time to grow a pair there boys and girls or buy the fecking ticket.

1. Sorry Smoke....you'll need to google. The information was supplied by my pal, a retired (Brit) Hong Kong judge who lives in Umalas but currently back in Hong Kong to be with his 2 daughters and grandkids for Xmas/NY. I'll see him next week and enquire further if you're still interested. 2. Markit insists that altering a boarding pass is perfectly legal...I'm only indicating that others may interpret differently. A boarding pass is required to access the security side of an airport and has a barcode which can easily be swiped to verify authenticity. Agreed, it's unlikely the check-in will bother to do that with a return boarding pass...but circumstances can change. Anyway...not all airlines allow checking-in online and printing the boarding pass until close to the flight date..i.e. Lion Air only permit within 24 hours. Seeing as Markit says it's OK maybe he can provide his contact number to offer to Immigration/Security...:icon_rolleyes: The pass Markit provides above is clearly a fake as the contact is my mum...she died over 30 years ago...:angel:
