Keep Explorer for the three times’ lounge, until you can’t avoid annual fee (this happened to me in 2023, haven’t since reapplied).

Then use Everymile https://www.plazapremiumlounge.com/e...s-in-hong-kong . Remember to meet $4,000 spend requirement 60 days after visit.

There’s supposedly a longer list of eligible cards https://www.plazapremiumlounge.com/e...s-in-hong-kong , tho we struggle to figure out how to gain access with some of the listed cards (eg Citi Rewards: thru https://www.travelwithloungekey.com/zh/home ?!)

(I’m keeping my Priority Pass from Citi Prestige)
