Just because your devices work with other networks do not mean it is not your devices' problem.

Have you restarted your devices?

Oh...

I don't think you understand how networks work. Yes, it is the wifi issue. Sometimes there are issues with devices, like IP conflicts and the such, but that is an issue with the network usually (it is possible to have a fixed IP on a laptop, but on a phone that is pretty uncommon. On a laptop it is pretty uncommon nowadays as well). Also an issue with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, as some older devices don't support the higher frequency.
Sometimes there is also a limit on how many simultaneous connections are allowed/supported.

Anyways, wifi networks should work for the vast majority of users. They should actually work for all, but sometimes there are specific conflicts that take IT administrators too much time/effort to resolve, so they don't worry about those.

Resetting a phone doesn't usually solve any issues with wifi connectivity (laptop may, if you are running Windows, but that is another issue). It is easy enough to turn off wifi, or turn on airplane mode, which practically does the same thing.

What if it is not a network issue? Even taking your word in your favor, there is nothing suggesting issues with the Centurion Lounge's WiFi network.

FWIW - restarting a device will usually resolve most problems encountered. In fact, it is the first method you should try whenever you have an issue.

Is the "breakfast menu" only available inside the Centurion section?

garykung

Yes.

Outside Centurion area is buffet only.

How's everyone's experience with HK's location? Originally from the pics during opening, I was afraid there was awfully not a lot of seats / tables. But from all the Instagram pictures, it seems fairly empty and always some seats available.

I've stopped by a handful of times and never have problems finding a table. I generally depart HKG 9am-11am.

There are several reasons why the lounge is not utilized as most think:

1. Most who have AMEX Centurion Lounge access usually have other lounge access as well.

2. Except for alcohol, AMEX Centurion Lounge is not as good as the PPL nearby.

Note - All PPL in HKG are now included AMEX Global Lounge Collection. PP is not longer required for access, but simply your AMEX Platinum/Centurion.

3. This lounge's location is not exactly convenient.

The lounge is located at the far side of the terminal. Due to how HKG is designed, pax with low gate numbers will be forced to walk back to their gates in order to use this lounge.

Good overview and excellent points. Good to know that AMEX Plat card can be used to access other lounges.
It seems that Emirates Lounge HKG has limited hours of operation. This will help fill in the gaps.[/LEFT]

I stop by a few times a week on my way to the Pier to check in people. The lounge never busy and however the wait for the showers is often ridiculously long. Two days ago I was told 2 hours as there was a large family ahead of me but there could be extra delays if any centurion member wanted to use the showers.

I stopped in for the first time and was not impressed. The Manhattan they mixed was poor - worse than the North American CL's (especially SFO, which makes a mean Manhattan) and also worse than the version I'd just finished in The Wing, which was excellent. I wouldn't rush back there, especially if I had access to The Wing again.

Color me unimpressed as well. Poor seating options and most everything was full. Food spread was weaker than SFO and quality was low. And because it's open air to the terminal, it's uncomfortably hot and humid today (UA and TG clubs suffer from this as well).

In the SKL right now, enjoying more comfortable seating, better food, and blasting AC.

I plan to visit The Wing, Pier and Centurion lounge. Where should I have lunch?
PPL stands for Plaza Premium Lounge?

I wouldn't bother with Centurion. It does not compare to the CX lounges for either hard or soft product.

Among the CX lounges, I personally prefer the window seats at the Bridge. I'd also check out the Deck since it's brand-new.
