Any Oneworld Lounge @MNL open past midnight?

[Blacksheep]

Hi all,

Looking at the QF98 2:45am flight to BNE from MNL, what Oneworld lounges would be open? Seems like all the T3 lounges close shop at 00:30, while the CX lounge is down by 19:30.

Thanks!

Should be the PAGGS lounge, noted oneworld site says it closes at 0030 but priority pass and google maps lists it as 24 hours.

I often find the oneworld info is out of date.

Was kinda on a wing a prayer for the CX lounge to be miraculously open

Sorry, but no.

However, despite some critiscism on this board, I would say that PAGSS isn't that bad (if you go at a relatively quiet time - whenever that is).

The food offerings aren't that bad and you can self-pour wines of dubious quality, as well as beers and soft drinks.

I have no qualms about going in there (and I'm flying QF98 in a month's time).

Blacksheep and Clifford I consider you are brave taking on the QF97/98 schedule. What's your plan

QF97 - Arrival into MNL 1am, let's say cleared immi and baggage by 1:45am, Makati type 2:30am
QF98 - keeping hotel for an extra night then heading out to NAIA midnight?

That schedule will kill me for the following day. Even I live in BNE I would still prefer the QF19/20 more closely aligned with regular sleep hours.

I'm booking for next year, either the QF98 or QF20.
Haven't decided as I need to match it with the other flights going into MNL and waiting for the damn DSC
I'd prefer QF98 as the connecting flights arrive around 10pm which is ideal. Just depends on what I can get with rewards as well, trying to do a little mini status run.
Was looking at CGK but that window is closing rapidly and the rewards flights probably will be gone by the time DSC arrive.

Was in J on QF20 which was delayed 2 hours and the CX team promptly asked us to move right on the dot at 1930 to the PAGSS lounge.

Note, currently 24H a day except Wednesdays where there is a 5 hour closing window.

Echo @clifford's opinion, staff are friendly, showers are clean and plenty to drink! Ice cream isn't half bad too, but last time only had one flavour when previously had 3!
