Cathay Pacific has many business class lounges here in Hong Kong, and the Wing is one of the closest ones right after security on the left side. But make sure you go down a level, as the Wing lounge at the same level as security is the first class section.
At the lower level, Cathay discreetly welcomes all passengers to its Wing lounge.
Access Requirements
- Business Class Passengers traveling on a OneWorld Airline
- One World Sapphire members traveling on a OneWorld Airline (+1 guest)
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles Diamond members (+2 guests) traveling on a OneWorld Airline or codeshare airline
Once you are admitted, either an elevator or a set of stairs welcomes you to the upper lounge
Once at the upper level, this is the main seating room, and you can see how open to the natural light it is, and that’s one of my favorite things about this lounge.
The lounge had a good variety of seats for having conversation with family and friends as well as individual cubicle seats.
I took a station at one of the cubicle seats below.
near the bar, there was also some bar-style seating if you were feeling up for that.
The noodle bar had some of that bar-style seating as well, along with benches and tables conducive to eating.
and there was also a business center in case anybody needed to do any last-minute work. I never really understood the value of this until I found myself in a situation where I needed to use one of these computers so now I have nothing but grattitude whenever I see them. And if not the business center, then just the rest of the views behind them.
Especially for getting work done, the cubicle seating was my favorite, as it was incredibly private and had multiple power ports. The only thing is that the table space was pretty restricted, so it was hard to eat and work at the same time, but easy to drink something and work simultaneously.
However, the power ports are UK style, so be sure to have a converter if your cords aren’tĀ natively British plug points. I always think lounges that operate in global airports, especially like Hong Kong, should have standard universal power ports, but I’m at least thankful that they do have power ports. A lot of lounges still don’t have that readily available, even in this modern day.
Food & Drink
the lounge had three main rooms:
- The main room had a buffet.
- Another room was the noodle bar.
- The third room was a coffee room.
Yes, that’s a soda fountain. It took me a few minutes to see the logos in the stone, whereas I thought this was just an excessively large water dispenser at first.
Around the bar, you had more finger foods and bar snack-style items that you could take in small plates.
As hinted at earlier, this lounge does have a noodle room where you can order from a number of made-to-order items, and I immediately went for the Dan Dan noodles.
I hope you all get to visit a Cathay Pacific Lounge to try this because this isĀ Ā easily the best dish that you’ll find at a Cathay Pacific Lounge, and it’s also among the best signature dishes that you’ll find at any lounge around the world.
of course, with any good made-to-order item, you’ll also have some add-on spices and relishes, which is exactly what the noodle bar had, along with a few vinegars and sauces off to the side.
The noodle room also had its own buffet section with a few extra dishes separate from the original buffet room.
And there was also a coffee room where you could order from a number of caffeinated beverages. While I couldn’t appreciate the coffee part because I don’t drink coffee, it was cool to see all the different pastries they offered to supplement the caffeinated beverages.
Overall, The Wing Business Class Lounge is a good spot to spend some time before your flight. You have a lot of natural lighting, individual spaces to get work done, and spaces amongst family and friends if you wish. The buffet options are fine, but the real superhero with the food is the made-to-order items and, of course, Cathay’s signature dandan noodles, which is a pretty consistent offering across all of their global lounges. The only consideration to have is that this lounge is right after security and so close to the front of the terminal, but Hong Kong Airport has quite a spread. If you are at one of the further gates way down the concourse, then this lounge may not necessarily make the most sense for you. At least you have the information to decide whether it’s worth it for you.
