We're flying in J from US, connecting to BKK. We've got an 8 hour layover, so will be heading into Hong Kong, would like to leave our carry-on bags somewhere so we don't have to carry them all day. Any ideas?

They can hold luggage for you. Retain your BP for entry. http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_HK/atairport/hklounge_arrival midlevels Aug 8, 11, 10:11 pm As you are arriving in J, you will have access to The Arrival lounge, landside at HKG.

IIRC it used to be F only, plus GO and above. brenc3 Aug 8, 11, 10:31 pm Is J class admittance into The Arrival lounge a new benefit? IIRC it used to be F only, plus GO and above. So says the link above... I've never tried personally, as I enter on OW Emerald status (which feels very generous when I visit after flying some cheapo-creepo coach fare TPE-HKG) jumbojet19920711 Aug 9, 11, 1:28 am The link does say so, but I find it hard to believe. If all J pax were admitted the lounge would be way overcrowded. It is a tiny space with only 8 showers; there is no way it can handle such a volume barring a major expansion, especially during the early AM when all the long-hauls come in. And you still have regional flights that get access too. Marco Polo Aug 9, 11, 2:34 am So says the link above... I've never tried personally, as I enter on OW Emerald status (which feels very generous when I visit after flying some cheapo-creepo coach fare TPE-HKG) I cannot see how you can arrive in Aircheapo and gain access unless you are transfering to CX/KA same day. "First and Business Class passengers, Gold tier members or above of The Marco Polo Club and Emerald members of oneworld™ on Cathay Pacific or Dragonair arriving same day in Hong Kong OR transiting same day with more than 4 hours of transit time are welcomed to visit our arrivals lounge. " brenc3 Aug 9, 11, 8:35 am I cannot see how you can arrive in Aircheapo and gain access unless you are transfering to CX/KA same day. I'm referring to cheap coach fares that are often available TPE-HKG r/t on CX. It's very generous for CX to provide Arrivals lounge access on all tickets to OW Emerald, including those that are short and inexpensive. |
