Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific The Arrival Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

I’ve reviewed essentially every oneworld departure lounge at Hong Kong airport, but this was my first time stopping by Cathay Pacific’s arrivals lounge at HKG, appropriately named “The Arrival”. To get to the arrivals lounge, you should follow the signs to “Pay-in/Shower lounges”. The Arrival is located just across from the Plaza Premium arrivals lounge. The…

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific Lounge Penang Airport (PEN)

The Penang airport is a pretty nice airport. They advertise having free wifi, and there are lots of USB charging stations. It’s not a particularly large airport, so it doesn’t take too long to get to the gates either. On this trip, I stopped by the Cathay Pacific lounge prior to my departure. All of…

Trip Report: Cathay Pacific First Class Hong Kong to San Francisco (HKG to SFO)

CX 872 HKG to SFO Depart: 12:30am Arrive: 10:15pm Duration: 12h 45m Aircraft: Boeing 77W Seat: 1A Just going to warn you that this is going to be a shitty trip report because my pictures aren’t great, but I’ve reviewed Cathay Pacific’s First Class product before (albeit on the 747 instead of the 77W) with better…

Review: Cathay Pacific’s The Bridge Hong Kong Airport Lounge (HKG)

The entrance to the Bridge is right in front of you as exit the train that takes you to the higher-numbered gates. You go down a small escalator, and then you have the choice of going left or right. To the left is the coffee bar, shower suites, an IT bar, and the Bistro; to…

Review: Cathay Pacific’s The Cabin Hong Kong Airport Lounge (HKG)

The Cabin is one of Cathay Pacific’s business class lounges at the Hong Kong airport, and it’s conveniently located below gate 23. The lounge is pretty long and has large windows overlooking the apron along one side, so it’s potentially a great plane watching location during the day. At night, the lounge is a little…

Review: Cathay Pacific’s The Wing First Class Lounge Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

I’ve visited the Wing a number of times over the past year, but these pictures are from my first visit, which was late at night prior to the midnight bank of departures. Thus, the lounge was crowded given the relatively easy lounge access rules, and I had to hunt to find a seat. This also…

Review: Dragonair G16 Lounge Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

After the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge, my next stop was the Dragonair G16 lounge, which is right beside the Qantas lounge. I would not stop here unless you’re playing HKG airport lounge bingo, as there aren’t many redeeming qualities of this lounge, particularly with the Qantas lounge right next door. In fact, when I entered…

Review: Cathay Pacific Lounge KUL (Kuala Lumpur) Airport

I was flying Cathay Pacific from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong, so I decided to stop by the Cathay Pacific lounge at KUL. This is a super standard international business class lounge, and you should almost surely go to the Malaysia Airlines lounge instead of this one (if you’re accessing the lounge via status or…
