    Hong Kong 5 lounge crawl

    Time to grab something to eat in the restaurant. As CX trying to improve service and catering a decision was made to take over the lounges from 3rd party contractors and manage them themselves. The first and only lounge so far that is run directly by CX is Pier F in HKG. Staff members got...

    Hong Kong 5 lounge crawl

    Time to get massage. Wait was only 35 minutes, not bad. I chose foot massage which was great, very relaxing. Wasn’t hungry yet so went to rest in one of the day suites.

    Lounge #5 The Pier First Class Located in T2 near gate 63. Note there’s train from T1 to T2 but not vv so if your departure gate is at the other end better leave about 10 min earlier to allow leisurely walk back to T1. Such a beautiful lounge, love the decor. Let’s kick off...

    Hong Kong 5 lounge crawl

    Lounge #4 Qantas Located in the northern side of T1 just after security. Frankly the only reason to visit this lounges is if you too much time and nothing better to do. Ah and the caramel cheesecake, gotta have the caramel cheesecake, it’s sooo good! Apart from that it’s a nice...

    Hong Kong 5 lounge crawl

    On the other side of the bridge is the Sky Bar which offers set menu for PriorityPass so I’ve decided to check it out. Sadly I forgot to take photo of the menu but the choice was between pasta dish or 3 Pinchos, choice between 3 coughtails plus tea or coffee. I chose the Pinchos and sour coughtail...

    Hong Kong 5 lounge crawl

    Lounge #2 Sky Deck & Sky Bar While technically not an airline lounge this is the place I was most excited to check out for the first time. Access is opposite gate 24. It’s basically a long bridge with amazing runway views. On one end is the Sky Deck which I can only describe as an avgeek...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    In fairness they did invest in two brilliant F lounges, something most airlines don’t offer particularly to F pax who don’t fly with them.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The *G lounge in T3 right next to SK used to be a hidden gem back when it opened as pax didn’t know about it. Haven’t been there in a while, need to check it out again. In SK I’m always going for a sofa, if available, in the small section (former F) which is more quiet.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    The T3 SK lounge is disappointing, I’ve said that from the moment it opened. SQ missed an opportunity and instead created another boring lounge as the previous one just with nicer decor. Even after the *G lounge next door opened SK remained constantly overcrowded and I don’t think the T2 lounge...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    This Chard is still a baby but the nose is incredible and it has beautiful long aftertaste, love it! Left half of the Stonier in the fridge to see how it develops and went to finish this bottle I’ve been Coravining for two weeks. This is modern style Burg, quite different yet very good 👍
