Confused with lounges in HKG

[lmere12]

I scored a f/flyer business class seat booking with QFF on a CX253 flite HKG to LHR in June,
Im confused as to which lounge can I or must access - Q or a Cathay ? Do I have a choice?? Also I see that I have a confirmed (U), I can't seem to find anywhere what this abbreviation stands for. Thanks in advance​

You can use any of Wing, Pier or Qantas Business Lounges in HKG or try each one if you desire.

U class is business class award.

You will find the lounge locator handy for your CX flights:

oneworld - Search for a oneworld Lounge

Although I would suggest not giving that search facility too much credence. I'm sure it's pretty much on the money for HKG but in other, perhaps less frequented ports, it may not always be accurate. JNB for me last weekend was a case in point. The BA lounge times on the website differed dramatically from reality.

Its a good starting point to whats available, given the data is provided by member airlines rather than being open source contributions, things change from time to time, especially when an airline has industrial issues, last weekend was also just after the changeover to the summer timetable for the northern hemisphere, that may have had a bearing on the hours as well.

Fair point. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so unhappy in my email to BA.

Just a note to the OP about HKG lounges, it can also depend where you flight is departing from as to which lounge is best.
If you are leaving from the high gates (i.e 60 & above) the transit time from lounge to gate needs to be factored it. For these gates The Wing lounge can be very handy!

Good point. when i flew to HK last year i used the Pier when i arrived and the Wing on the way back. I enjoyed both.

I will be transiting in HKG late next month.

As a WP flying J, which lounges would my fellow travelers recommend whist in transit?

What time of day? and (as posted by StuntmanRon), what Pier.

As a WP travelling on QF and outbound in the eveing, in General I suggest the Wing (F) as that (IMHO) the best lounge closest to the gates taht Qantas employ.

If you departure gate is above 33, then the Pier (F) may be your best bet.
