HKG lounge crawl 8 June 2014

[JohnK]

Long day for Mal​ and I, roughly 10.5-11 hours in the lounges :shock:

That is a long time.

of you are WP you can apply just after immigration.

See this thread: tba

serfty has updated his post with the relevant link, which is much better than the previous brief desciption posted here.

 

[yohy?!]

Some brief details: you can apply for it right after immigration, before you exit to the baggage hall, so look for it as soon as you're through with the customs officer looking at your passport. The enrollment office in the north hall opens 10am - 6pm, south hall 7.30am to 11pm.

I'm not sure if the requirement of having visited HKG at least 3 times (or was it 4?) in the past year on the same passport would still apply though.

Any status MPC member can apply at any time also https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en...MP5RVVp/JpOXdUGFNyEU3j2/8ZvrYzb7re0H9H58fvg==

I have fixed the tba in my post above:

If you are QF WP or SG you can apply just after immigration.

(I suggest reading the entire thread.)

Is the a priority pass lounge at HKG? I have one free entry I could use.

Plaza Premium x 2 (West hall is newer and nicer with better food)

(we can add it to the list if enough have access...HK credit cards give it away like lollies)

Tomorrow I will be in SYD F lounge for about 5 hours then 2-3 hours in the MEL F lounge followed by about 7 hours in the QF J and EK lounges. Can I (my liver) have some sympathy please!

Heading to KUL by any chance?

Heading to KUL by any chance?

Yes. Four nights at DoubleTree. I love it there.

I have updated the spread sheet for the 3rd time, not going to Thailand as in previous posts, froggerADL you an I arrive around the same time on Thursday.

 

[Aeolus]

I have the HK frequent visitor barcode at the back of my passport which was linked to my APEC which has since expired. Do you think it's easier to renew or do I still need to demonstrate the min 4 visits to get a new one?

Jess, I will be doing a short trip to KUL from TPE but flying back to HKG on the 6th. Too bad it's not the same time as FroggerADL and you, otherwise we could do a mini KUL lounge run as well!

Reading the other thread Qantas gold or platinum qualify for the e channel.

Wondering which will be longer, the queue for the frequent visitor card or the queue that it helps you avoid

froggerADL you an I arrive around the same time on Thursday.

I will also be around then.

Although, if some *$%^*@# P1 has stolen *my* points upgrade to F, I might be sulking

Are you on 127 Thursday as you would have seen my F upgrade came through last Thursday.

 

[mickeyc747]

current F cabin on QF 127 on Thursday

 

[Awesom Andy]

I can see it now... we're all going to be sitting in the lounges, talking about who took who's upgrades.

As Long as everyone in F tells their FA that there is decent chap in 80A and he would love a decent blanket and pillow then I say fight it out!

The decent chap in 80A should also join us upstairs in the lounge for a drink

A wonder if that bar/lounge is available to be reserved for private functions?
