Cathay Pacific Opens 'The Pier' - 2nd Premium Lounge in Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific Airways today opened the doors to The Pier, its new lounge at Hong Kong International Airport. The Pier offers a number of new features including a Juice Bar, exclusive Day-Break Rooms, three bars and two restaurants, 60 broadband-connected computers and a wireless LAN for connecting with laptop computers. It is located between gates 62 and 66 and so is ideal for passengers transiting or departing from gates near the Northwest concourse of Hong Kong's vast modern airport.

The Pier covers 3,900 square metres and is the airline's second lounge at the airport. Its first -- The Wing -- was opened in 1998 and was last month named first in a Forbes magazine list of The World's Ten Best Airport Lounges.

After presenting a commemorative gift to the very first passenger to visit The Pier, Cathay Pacific Director Service Delivery Robert Cutler said: ``The Pier is a fantastic new facility for our passengers in Hong Kong, and is evidence that even though this is a tough time for the airline industry Cathay Pacific is still delivering premium products.''
