I took a quick gander at the AA Arrivals Lounge. Arriving CX passengers have access, though FT told me to ask for an invitation card at HKG check-in – not only are they not automatically given, AA can be a bit funny if you show up without one. It said to make a hard right after exiting the secure area. It should have said to make a u-turn and take the lifts marked prayer room. Of course, maybe AA could just try and get their lounge signposted a little better. FYI, following the signs for the VS and AC lounges will get you nowhere.
It seemed like a decent facility. Bigger than CX’s Arrival Lounge in HKG for a start. At that hour most of the passengers looked like they were trickling in from either the Australian BA/QF arrivals or CX. There was a hot breakfast available, plenty of soft drinks and juices and pastries as well.
