Which lounge to use in PEK?
Last time at PEK I travelled with *A... but now I'll take the AY flight to HEL.
Which lounge would you recommend to use at PEK? As AY Plat I'll fly in J. Any chance to use the CX lounge there?

All lounges are quite poor in Beijing.
You can use the CX lounge.
I prefer to use it over the Air China lounge (which would be the normal J lounge for Finnair).
There are far less people in CX, but the quality is the same as the Air China lounge.

Strange that there seems to be no fast track at PEK!

Is invitation needed for these lounges? I guess I'll have access to the CX lounge as an AY Plat without a separate invitation when flying AY.

I planned of visiting all lounges we have access to and then post some pictures here. Unfortenately I overslept and had only 30 min anymore after security, so I only went quickly to the Cathay Pacific lounge.
Next time Beijing is probably somewhere the June-August period. I'll try to post pictures of the other lounges then.

as promised:
Air China lounge first class lounge:
- poor food, some boooze (for me not relevant for a 11 AM flight)
. almost nobody, very big. similar space compared to Cathay Pacific lounge
BGS lounge - first class section
- similar food as Air China, did not notice booze. Very small place and quite crowded.
My judgement call: Use Air China first class lounge. If you are emerald, choose either Cathay Pacific or Air China first class.
