This tip only applies if flying LHR-SYD transiting through HKG where the LHR-HKG sector is on VS and HKG-SYD is on another carrier all on the same VS ticket.
Checking in at T3 at LHR, VS will interline baggage through to Sydney on a QF or CX connection out of HKG but are unable to provide a BP. VS will tell you that you will need to go to the relevant airline transit desk on arrival at HKG.
To avoid the queues in HKG and save time, after going thru security at T3 go to the airline service desks and you can obtain your BP before leaving LHR. The airline will need to see your VS boarding pass in order to enter details of any checked luggage into their system. If your bags are manifested then they remain in HKG.
On arrival in HKG you can simply proceed through security to the departure gates.
