I am not sure whether I am better off looking for a hotel, although I don't want to have to spend money. How much time would I have to spend outside the lounge?

Also, I am a Oneworld Sapphire, but I don't have my physical card, I have a print off version from the QR website and my number will be on my booking, any problems getting in like this? I will also be guesting someone with no status.

Thanks for your help.

In addition to the amazing advises given,I just wanted to add that CX lougnes don't close untill the actual departure of the last flight. I was sitting in the lounge once when they anounced the JNB flight delay till some crazy hour (4 or 5am,can't remember exactly) and the lounge stayed open for that night. Don't know how that happens though.

I still don't think we came to a consensus in the CLINIC thread "Using HKG departure side lounges before heading to town" on whether one can access airside with a next day BP?
