CP just changed our flight in mid-January from HKG to JFK - from a nonstop 6:30 pm flight to a 1 am flight via YVR. The change is actually okay with me because we only had a 3 hr layover on a flight from Auckland to HKG - so it would have been a killer to do two back-to-back 14 hr flights. However, we are now in HKG from 3:30 pm until 1 am and I don't want to pay $250 to stay in a hotel esp since we are not spending the night. I have access to the CX business class lounge and they sound pretty nice - but it is a long time to hang out esp when I cannot get a place to lay down and nap.

Saw discussions about taking a ferry to Macua - can someone provide some details on this and what is involved including the approximate costs. May be interesting to do and go have dinner and walk around.

Thanks for the help.
