Why is the Arrivals lounge full of people trying to get TO HKG? Is that where BA 'housed' them over night after the delays?
Is the Arrivals lounge called Galleries too, as in the post title? Or is the OP actually in the Galleries, perhaps awaiting an onward connection, and not in the Arrivals lounge at all?
