OW lounge in PEK
Do any OW airlines have their own lounge in PEK, or do they all rent space. What I really want to know is I am OW Sapphire travelling in Y on CX do I have any lounge options?
Thanks
Thanks

I'm pretty sure there isn't any and all airlines use a contracted lounge (BGS). But I've never been to Beijing. Sometimes you need status with the airline you are flying (CX does pay for its cardholders to use the BGS lounge).

I was in PEK pretty recently and yes it is a contracted lounge. The is OK but nothing spectacular. Seems that OW carriers are split between two lounges there, BGS and the other lounge which I cannot recall the name of.

Unfortunatley my travels will also be taking me to CMB which means I have to step back in time and be issued a paper ticket for the entire journey

The thread is 10 years old... any updates to this? Traveling in Business from PEK-HEL on AY... wondering what the lounge situation is? The OW website shows 2 lounges for Finnair, both Air China. I'm *Gold, so not too familiar with the OW stuff. Is there an arrivals lounge in HEL?

I suspect its slightly better than the third party lounges, though nothing like HKG

Just out of curiosity, why are you asking about lounges in Finland here?
