Cathay reopens The Bridge lounge

[RealtimeY]

Cathay is reopening The Bridge later today, having renovated it to match the Ilse Crawford design of their other lounges.

The Deck will be temporarily repurposed as a First/OWE lounge, and The Wing First will close for a refresh, reopening 2026.

Great news for oneworld flyers departing HKIA

On my way to HKIA as I type (thanks to free CX wifi for J PAX).

If I get a chance, I’ll swing by the Bridge but probably won’t have time to check it out as I’ll be making a bee-line to the closest F lounge before my onward connection. Passing back thru in 2 wks, so might get a 2nd chance.

If we end up at the Deck, I’ll report back.

Oh well, went to the Deck thinking the Wing was now closed and that would be the closest lounge to our onward flight from Gate 11 only to be told to do the F lounge…

In the back of my head I thought the Wing F had already closed but apparently not!

How is this great news? The Wing was the go to lounge, no question.

The Deck is quite small, so how will this acommodate all the OWE's displaced from the Wing? I was in the Deck a couple of months ago, and it's quite nice, but no way it could comfortably handle the traffic that would otherwise go to the Wing. It'll be interesting to see how it works out. I'll be there in October to find out..,..

Deck is only replacing Wing F/Emerald, not the larger Wing J/ Sapphire..
But obviously going to be missing the cabanas and alacarte restaurant.
