- I see the Asina website lists the Dragonair lounge as their lounge in HKG, just wondering if this lounge would accommodate an economy passenger who is *G?
Correct, OZ use KA lounge in HKG. KA lounge is a contract lounge, it is not access by OZ boarding pass or *G card, you have to get a lounge invite from OZ checkin, all they care is the lounge invite.

KA lounge in HKG is not the best, really a medicore lounge. They don't even bother to put up as many newspapers and magazines even compare with UA RCC. THe only nice thing about this lounge is they have a cook-to-order Hong Kong style rice noodle soup with fish ball.

I don't know exactly what time does all the lounges close, RCC stated it close at 9:30pm, but I know LH use RCC in HKG, and there is a flight to MUC at 11:20pm, the RCC may stay open later, but it may be only accessible by LH pax. Some of these lounges only open for particular airline.

For SKL, the SQ 2 to SFO doesn't leave til 10:45pm, so it may close around 10pm.

For TG, the last flight to BKK leaves at 10:25pm, so I guess it also close at 10pm.
