Cathay Releases Lounge Etiquette Guidelines
Ryan Boyd January 16, 2019
Cathay Pacific has released a list of guidelines for guests using the carrier’s airport lounges necessary to “ensure an enjoyable lounge experience for all.”
Among the guidelines put in place by Cathay Pacific:
- To keep noise levels to a minimum, please wear headphones when using personal devices, set your mobile ringer to vibrate, and keep conversations low.
- Smoking cigarettes, pipes or cigars (including electronic cigarettes) is not permitted.
- Please avoid placing your feet on any piece of furniture, including tables, chairs and other items.
- For hygiene and safety reasons, bare feet are not permitted.
- To maintain quality hygiene and health standards, please use utensils when taking food from the buffet.
So if you’re planning on clipping your toenails in the Cathay lounge while vaping, you might want to do it elsewhere.

Absolutely agree, maybe wrong parallel but I still remember certain gentleman "establishing" his office at executive floor at Grand Hyatt SIN back in 2012, he took loads of food and sparkling wine, took best table only for himself, and had at least dozen calls loudly... Or even today morning at ZAG I had to witness a guy on his phone giving lesson to his secretary about this and that... As for dress code I was always struggling in MEA region where I would be impolite having designers leather sandals, while domestic gents would get go ahead since it is part of "national dressing code" ...
I don’t care what you wear, as long as you don’t smell. Bottom line, behaviors, as those listed in the rules, impact on others and once upon a time weee common manners. All I want are “rules” for common manners. I also don’t care who is in business or first - as long as they behave.
@Infinite97 totally agree with you!
Ok I echo all of above - especially the use of hands when tings readily available — now if only these common rules of human decency were followed without the signs
Wait - I can put my feet on the furniture (ottoman) onboard in F/J, but not in the lounge? Hmmm...
