Just hit up The Wing lounge at HKG - ngl, it's pretty decent but not mind-blowing. The spot's near Gate 2, which is clutch if you're flying out from that area. The space is massive and has this whole open-concept thing going on with views of the terminal. You can peep some planes in the distance, but mostly you'll be people-watching travelers hustling below. The design feels a bit dated tbh, but it's still clean and sleek. The noodle bar is where it's at fam. Had their wonton noodles which were surprisingly legit - the wontons were translucent and stuffed with shrimp and pork. The Dan Dan noodles were decent too, had that nice spicy kick, though not quite as fire as what you'd get in Sichuan. The Coffee Loft makes solid espresso drinks when you need that caffeine fix. IT Zone's got fast WiFi if you need to get some work done. Can get pretty packed during peak hours, so maybe scout different seating areas. It's a solid 4/5 lounge experience. Not gonna blow your mind, but definitely beats chilling at the gate. The food's better than your average airport fare, and the space is comfortable enough to kill a few hours. If you've got time though, might want to check out The Pier lounge instead -...
Read moreTwo weeks ago I was there for a Cathay Pacific flight transit from Shanghai to Jakarta. Since the waiting time is quite long, more than 3 hours, Cathay Pacific gave me 2 lounge vouchers, one for the arrival lounge and the other one for the departure lounge, … so generous ! The Cathay Pacific’s Wings Lounge at Hong Kong International Air port is a Spacious lounge and close to the boarding gates. We can have good quality foods and beverages there, the variety and taste are above the average compared to other lounges (non Cathay Pacific). All area are clean and If you wish to go out for some reasons and want to go back to the lounge, you should ask for "re entry stamp" on your boarding pass. Please make sure your voucher is match to the Lounge class (Business or First class). You also can entry and re-entry into others Cathay Pacific Lounges at the departure terminal. It’s very beneficial when we are waiting for the next flight connection for more than 1 hour. We can take a walk for shopping and then enter the closer Cathay Pacific lounge for relaxing. The chairs / sofas are comfortable and easily we can find power outlets around the...
Read moreBetter than The Pier at Gate 2 these days. So there was a brief period of time earlier this year (Jan-Feb 2023) when they allowed access to the First class lounge for Business class passengers. But, that quickly overwhelmed the wait staff and drew the ire of Diamond passengers. So Gold and below now have to go back downstairs and do the walk off shame only to come back up to the same level for service. They no longer serve eggs for breakfast at The Pier during breakfast either, which is why I'm rating The Wing higher. Who doesn't serve eggs for breakfast??? Sure, The Wing may be smaller and your gate may be out of the way of Gate 6-12, but The Wing doesn't feel as stuffy or enclosed as the other CX lounges. It's on the second floor and overlooks Gate 9-12, with seconds of "open air" seating. The food is awesome right when they switch from breakfast to lunch service (between 11-11:30am). They have scrambled eggs for breakfast and typically some sort of soup and stew for lunch, together with a generous cheese platter and a selection of liquor for self-service, and a noodle bar with the beloved Dan Dan noodles. Check it out of...
