HKG lounge crawl [date tbc]

[JessicaTam]

Based on the success of the Singapore lounge crawl, talk has already begun for one in Hong Kong.

The date is yet to be decided, so it is very much open to suggestions.

 

[JohnK]

Sounds fun.

I will already be in HKG airport April and May so will be difficult to organise another date as well.

I will follow this thread closely.

 

[erkpod]

I'll be in Singapore 20 - 25 Feb so I could shoot across then for a day trip.

I saw another suggestion on the other thread for April - that might be doable for me depending on date. March would be out.

Sounds good.. I'm through HKG quite often, so if the dates align would be pleasant.

Wondered about Aust Day long weekend? Chance fares may be expensive as end of school holidays though.

April 4 for me. I'll be in HK the three nights prior, one night on QM2 and the other 2 nights taking full advantage of the Langham Place Club's free CHAMPAGNE between 6pm and 8pm (but only sparkling at other times. )

 

[Newk]

I'll watch with interest. If the dates work I might try to plan a quick golf trip taking in Mission Hills as well.

January works for me. Anything except Dec or April really.

Sooner the better I say, November!

 

[SFSC]

Oh yes! If I can.

It's kind of a long haul for a day trip @ sub 4 hours each way though.. Overnighter at least.. :mrgreen:

$522 up and $1022 back, and that is the red-e-deal! Maybe another weekend.

Perhaps we should have a 127/128 A380 "see how much champagne they stock" challenge?

I did MEL - DRW - MEL in a long day with a reasonable amount of time (just over 12 hrs) in DRW last week.

That's a great effort..
Just considering the lounge options in HKG are slightly more palatial & diverse than DRW.. :mrgreen:

I don't know, those wedges in the QP are pretty good in DRW .

On the subject of a HKG lounge run, anyone thought about an A380 F run to BKK, its around $1K return or available as a classic award ( and I get the shower first LOL).

The company in the DRW Vlounge wasn't much chop!

 

[Happy Trails]

If you can avoid Sept 16, Sept 29, Dec 8 & Dec 25 that would be much appreciated.
(Just kidding)

I did a few last week.... had a few hours at HKG....

1. CX Wing... Wan ton mee (WTM), cha sui bau (ewww... nasty), Heineken (very cold). Smelly a/c made it most uncomfortable. BTW it is lookign tired and really is screaming out for a refurb!
2. Long Bar - G&T or two on the way to the.... CX Pier
3. Long trek to CX Pier - Yawn.
4. Long trek back to
5. QF Business Lounge - ewwwwww... smelly, horrible... get me out of here! yuk
6. Priority Pass Lounge.... actually OK... bought a pint of ASAHI..

So....

All a bit etzy getxy... (so so). I am beginning to get over the lounge thing...

Whatever.
