HKG lounge crawl 9 June 2024 (the annual Asian lounge crawl)

I think I now have flights into HKG arriving 8 Jun at 17:30 on OM 2971. I was planning to go into town but as most seem to be staying at Novotel Citygate, I have booked there as well.

Of the 6 of us on QF30, who already has a seat in J? So the rest of us can monitor our chances of an upgrade.
Still plenty of seats right now, but still too far away to make any predictions.

For those staying at Novotel Citygate at Tung Chung and arriving late, check on the pick-up bus timetables. Before covid, I arrived late - from memory was at the pick-up point at ?10:30pm? and the bus had stopped running. I called the hotel and no-one picked up the phone, on any of the menu choices (reception, restaurant, switch), over multiple calls. I ended up getting a taxi.

Is there a free bus hotel transfer, I didn't even think of this as I was thinking I would arrive and have catch a taxi. For all times I have been to HKG the routine was the same, get off the plane and get on the train to the city.

No Macau?

Here is a link to the 2018 HKG crawl. Over a dozen attendees and seemed to get quite a bit discombulated on the day, but all had fun!

HKG lounge crawl 10 June 2018

The location for the sixth annual Asian lounge crawl has been chosen - Hong Kong (HKG). There is quite a bit of competition between carriers on the AU-HKG routes at the moment, so hopefully this will continue through next year. The CX Pier J lounge has opened since we were last there and is...

So want to do this, just trying to work it out.

Well, there is a Hong Kong Airlines flight leaving DPS at 08:15 on the 9th. You could even earn Velocity points on that. Then you'd just need a oneworld flight out in the evening. ;)

Any plans for activities in Hong Kong on the Sunday before the Crawl?

I started a thread years ago looking for 'off beat' ideas for day activities there, as I had exhausted all the usual suspects

Hong Kong ideas [8am-4pm]

Looking for suggestions for 1/2 to 2/3 day activities in Hong Kong, beyond the first and second tier of things usually suggested .. which I think I must have done, once or twice over the years. Am on QF 30 dep at 8:30pm, so want to be done and back to the hotel by 4:30pm; don't want to go...
