I've been told that Continental's Presidents Club membership would get me into more lounges in more cities.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in.

Thanks!
An Admirals Club membership will not give you access to any lounges in Hong Kong so if international lounge access is a priority, I'd eliminate that one from the list.

What types of fares will you be flying? If you are on or upgrading to at least business class - or if you have elite membership in any of the airlines you will be flying - you might not need a membership if most of your travel is international as you might have lounge access as a privilege of either your elite status and/or your ticket class.
