Cathay Pacific’s welcome retreat
By Kristy Alpert
Getting to Vietnam well-rested and happy is a breeze thanks to Cathay Pacific’s multiple flights to Vietnam’s hub cities of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Danang. Travelers from the U.S. need only disembark once from their journey overseas in Hong Kong Airport, where a new business-class lounge awaits ready to refresh travelers before they head on toward their final destination.
Located in the Pier section, the lounge was designed by Studioilse to feel like a quintessential Hong Kong street with fast and slow lanes that enable guests to enjoy the space at their own pace. The space is all at once inviting and easy to navigate, featuring Cathay Pacific’s signature noodle bar, a full-service bar, self-service kiosks for quick snacks and drinks, a calming tea house and 14 shower suites.
The Pier Business Class Lounge is open from 5:30 a.m. until the last departure and is available for first-class and business-class passengers, Marco Polo Club silver members and above; friends and family members of qualified members; and Emerald and Sapphire Oneworld members.
