  • Calendar-only segments: CX349 Shanghai Hongqiao 10 Apr 13:20 → Hong Kong 16:05, CX253 Hong Kong 8 May 13:25 → London Heathrow T3 20:35, CX346 Hong Kong 26 May 13:05 → Shanghai Hongqiao 15:35
  • Why flagged: the May 8 Cathay segment conflicts with the Miami → London AA38 ticket already shown above, so this looks like a different booking or a changed plan rather than the same checked-in itinerary
