Access to Cathay Lounges in HK on a QF boarding pass as SG

[samh004]

It'd be the Sixth ... you forgot "The Arrival".

Wouldn't get in there based in SG and a QF boarding pass, plus he's departing, not arriving. But sure, let's split hairs, I opened the door to it

Are the guesting rules still the same? I'm travelling with my gf who is QF NB so hopefully that works out ok...

And check-out The Arrival - http://www.australianfrequentflyer....ic-new-business-class-30331-2.html#post440912 (Access landside after arriving on CX flights only; in F or oneworld Emerald in J/Y.)

The QF F lounge is still carp and the J lounge is still a dungeon - both facts not disputable.

But both of those observations are up to the individual.

The QF First Lounge is not cr@p and the QF Business Lounge is not a dungeon.

Generally in HKG I will go to the lounge which is the closest either to the gate I have arrived or the gate I will depart. But then I don't care about cabanas, or restaurants, or specific beverages so that decision is simple for me.

Only thing missing is the rack!

Just arrived home from Europe via Hong Kong and used both The Cabin and Qantas J Lounge.
Knowing opinions are subjective would take the "dungeon" any day. Although Cabin
serves Piper Heidsick Champagne (granddaugher's name so could taste like vinegar and I
would still love it) and Qantas do not, Qantas lounge much quieter, shower/toilet facilities
lovely and plentiful, Cabin, much lighter, but so much busier and very hard to find a
comfortable seat and toilets few and much harder to locate. All being used when finally
located so headed to Qantas J lounge. So much happier and closer to all shopping etc.
if you are in transit for awhile as we were.
Gate not allocated until very late in the piece and Cabin would have been closer on
homebound journey, but outgoing our gate was G15 so too easy.
Food probably more plentiful in Cabin but Qantas supplied peace, relaxation, shower and after
a series of flights with more than enough food really was the last thing on my mind.

Given the original question is about access as a OneWorld Sapphire, there is no point in mentioning the various First Class lounge options. When it comes to the Business Class lounges at HKG (and I have visited them all many times now), I find The Cabin has the best range of food/beverages available at any time of the day.

While The Cabin, The Pier and Qantas Business lounge are all on the arrivals level, The Cabin seems brightest and The Pier and Qantas Business lounges are both dark.

I really hate the Qantas lounge internet where everything is proxied and will not allow IPSec VPN or direct Lotus Notes (Email or Sametime) to pass - only HTTP/HTTPS.

If you want a self-serve bar, then head to Qantas. CX lounges will have beer in the fridge, but anything else if bar service.

Has The Wing buisness class section re-opened yet? It was still closed when I was last there at the end of July.

The Wing - Business Lounge, downstairs section has been reopen since April! (Only the upstairs J section, adjacent to First Class, is closed.)

Only a VERY small section downstairs has been open since April. I visited, managed to turn around without hitting anyone, could not find a seat and left for The Cabin.

So has the mezzanine level of The Wing re-opened yet? I has been cloes on all of my visits in May, June and July this year.

Reading between the lines, from the link which I provided above, the upstairs business class section of The Wing may reopen in coincidence with the (Chinese) New Year (2012). :idea:

Yes, that is what I thought. But a previous post implied it had re-opened, which I found strange.

Hi,

Just a quick query, I'm flying out of HKG on Saturday on a QF flight back to BNE, was just wondering if I could access any of the Cathay lounges in HK airport as a QFF SG if I'm on a QF boarding pass?

just curious to see what the Cathay lounges are like compared to the QF J lounge in HK

Thanks for any info on this

If you are flying economy on Qantas you will not get in to the Cathay lounge as a Silver or a QC member.

They are Gold (Oneworld Sapphire) so get access to Cathay business lounges.

Posting from the cabin as we speak, will do a mini recap when I'm back in sydney
