In early September, I will be one of 8 employees worldwide who chose to use two weeks of my vacation time (happily) to visit Sri Lanka to volunteer for a Habitat for Humanity build. The trip was inspired when a few employees started exchanging messages about how we wanted to actively help after the Tsunami. 2 of us are coming from the US, 1 from Canada, 2 from Hong Kong, and 1 from the Netherlands.

Since I am a seasoned traveler, I am making arrangements for 3 of us (the other woman from the US, the woman from Canada, and me). Since the airfare for the trip is being funded by donations the company collected, we are trying to economize as much as possible. The more $$ we save - the more we can donate.

It looks like the best way is going with an "All Asia" pass to fly economy (no miles ).

These women have never been to Asia, never flown CX (so I am sure they will be blown-away), and have never been in a lounge. I have only been in a CX lounge once, but it was unforgettable!

Does anyone have advice on how the 3 of us might be able to visit the HKK lounge on at least one leg of our trip? Can we purchase a day-pass for a reasonable amount of $$? Does anyone have passes they are not using that might expire soon? Is there someone at CX I can write asking if they would donate passes?

Thanks!
