Also, only individually packaged food will be available (No Buffets I presume).

Adjustments to lounge services in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing

Latest update: 13 Feb 2020 21:45 HKT (GMT+8)
Starting from 17 February 2020, we will be temporarily closing three of our lounges at Hong Kong International Airport until further notice:
  • The Bridge (Gate 35)
  • The Deck (Gate 6)
  • The Pier First Class Lounge (Gate 63)
Passengers are welcome to visit our other lounges, which remain open with no changes in operation hours at Hong Kong International Airport:
We are also taking additional precautions by temporarily modifying the dining options at our airport lounges in Hong Kong, Shanghai Pudong, and Beijing, to comprise individually packaged food options, and made-to-order hot food from the Noodle Bar.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.
 
There will be some very unhappy people re Pier F. But it is a reasonable decision given how many flights have been cancelled.
 
..does that mean other lounges at HKG will be without Pier peer 😉 😂😂😂

Sorry wrong thread 😁
 
Not. happy. Jan. No F'ing pier.

I will have to focus on the word 'temporarily' and pier into the future.

Actually I think that's taking CX's offering back to what it was when Chek Lap Kok first opened. Seemed bloody marvellous then...

cheers skip

Yeah the whole CX thing is terrible. I only recently worked out that SIN-LHR via HK is a much more pleasant option for me than the SQ SIN-LHR direct. The fares are much cheaper, the timings work better, AA lounge on arrival, nice CX Pier lounge in HK for a shower, individual legs are shorter - I hate the monotony of 14 hours - and bonus I can credit to AS and get lots of miles and status. Oh well back to SQ.
 
Currently I am in the very excellent Pier J lounge. Prior to cathing the train here I had lunch at The Wing F.
Bothe seem quite empty.

I have only been to HK once before, roughly four years ago and from memory the whole place was much busier.

Again not being familiar it may just be a quiet time of day.
Arriving at the check in and immigration and security around 1300 one could have fired a gun off. There were staff almost begging us to come to their gate.
The in town check in and train were almost deserted.

I had a better one but it must be too many gigabytes.
Several hundred in the line however....
 
you cannot win isn't it ?

In normal time you usually cannot get the foot massage in Pier F because the queue is over 5 hours.

now you think the queue will be shorter and they close pier F lounge...
 
In normal times I usually go to pier F as I like that lounge more.
everytime I ask for Cabana @ the Wing, I cannot get it and the ETA is unknown.

Now, I am not even sure if I want to use the Cabana, even if it is available !

Any long wait for cabana?
