Hong Kong’s new airport is among the busiest in the world. More than 60 million passengers fly in and out of here every year on over 100 different airlines. It is also the primary hub of Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong’s flagship carrier.
Thus, the fact that the airline has five lounges for its business-class passengers shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Four of these are for passengers transiting or departing, and one for those who have landed.
My favourite is The Pier, Cathay Pacific’s largest lounge anywhere, massive and yet somehow intimate. The attendants here are friendly, and if you request something, it’s no trouble at all.
The seating area features comfortable sofas and chairs with built-in reading lamps and side tables. The main food hall next to it is also spacious, featuring high-top tables, bar seating, as well as regular tables. There is an array of hot and cold items—chicken, fish, beef and sandwiches of all kinds, plus a selection of pastries, desserts and fresh fruit.
