Flying 1am CX BNE to HKG - BNE lounge options

[Kefci2000]

Hi All
Flying CX from BNE to HKG and beyond in May and just noticed QF lounge closes at 9:30pm.
Any other options, does CX offer other lounge entry?

Thanks in advance

Plaza Premium?

Yes I read that maybe Plaza, but then it said it was closed today, a Tuesday. Maybe no flights tonight? I travel on Tuesday evening / Wednesday 1am

The worst situation for Cathay from Brisbane at the moment is the lounge. Plaza premium at that time is completely full with no places to sit and mediocre food options available - it is the weakest point of the Cathay experience at the moment.

I travelled with them a few months ago and found it highly preferable to sit outside in the general concourse area. The issue with this was that there was not a single venue open which served food or drink, so you're limited to the news agency style shops (unless something has changed just recently).

Why they haven't been able to negotiate with Qantas to keep their lounge open as they used to, I do not know. I have provided feedback to Cathay on this, but would appear the Qantas lounge still closes too early!

I believe QR are still using the NZ lounge rather than the Plaza Premium so wonder what the cost difference is to them

Not quite the MEL or SYD F lounge hey
I guess as long as I can get a beer, wine, G&T or Bloody Mary I will be OK.
Save myself for a nice breakfast in the HK F lounge

You’re correct. And yes I don’t know!

Do CX give out any compensation? When no lounge was available in AMS they offered EUR 25 voucher or 18,000 Asia Miles.

Looks like QF lounge will now be open:
