CX Pier First Lounge spa appointments getting harder to secure

[Mattg]

The last few times I've visited Cathay's excellent Pier First lounge at HKG, I've inquired about booking a massage. Each time, the next available appointment was in 4-5 hours. The first time, my flight would have already left by then so I didn't book, but the second time I happened to have a ~5 hour layover so just managed to squeeze a booking in.

The receptionist mentioned to me this week that they've started allowing online bookings for CX Diamond and CX F passengers. That might explain why the appointments are filling up, and you might not be able to get one with generic Oneworld Emerald status unless you get to the airport really early.

In all my visirs to Cx Pier F, I think I have only managed to get 2 spa treatments!

In 2024 I made a travel mistake of arriving at HKG around midnight thinking that CX lounges are open 24 hours and ended up sleeping in the terminal but at least managed to get a massage first thing in the morning prior to my next flight
