Cathay Pacific lounges in Hong Kong

There are four Cathay Pacific lounges at the Hong Kong International Airport, and they are divided into classes based on ticket type and elite status.

• The Wing (business class lounge and first class lounge).

• The Pier (business class lounge and first class lounge).

• The Deck.

• The Bridge.

First class lounges

If you have extra time and you’re eligible to visit the first class lounges, you might want to visit both the Wing and the Pier.

The Wing has incredibly luxurious cabanas for rest and relaxation, as well as private spaces to get work done. The Haven, the Wing’s exclusive restaurant, offers a la carte service as well as a traditional dim sum buffet and exclusive wine pairings. Also, don’t forget the champagne bar.

The first class lounge at the Pier has eight private suites with daybeds, plus all of the comforts required to get a good nap. You’ll also have access to massage services and private work areas.

Business class lounges

The Wing business lounge features a stunning seating area overlooking the tarmac, known as the Long Bar, where you can ask the bartender for your favorite cocktail or champagne and snack on the buffet. You also can head over to the Asian-inspired buffet area for a full meal.

The Pier has a similar area, but the views aren’t quite as good.

Each lounge has shower rooms and private workstations, so you really can’t go wrong.
