I thought it was 28 days, but that's apparently for Elemis. So you can book further ahead than that (certainly months), and there's no time limit for usage. Unless on a double longhaul flight connection and looking to get some shuteye then I'm not sure I'd bother.

I've been able to book a cabana as soon as I have a flight booked which is sometimes many months ahead. If you email YouFirst to request it you'll usually get a prompt and very courteous reply. If your connection is long enough the cabanas are great for the purpose you have in mind.

I wouldn't describe it as a fascination but they serve a purpose. Where else can you relax horizontally in the CCR? The floor? And privacy is a luxury that some people appreciate.

I think perhaps people have the expectation of the cabanas at CX's HKG lounge and therefore believe they might like to spend some time there.

On a recent trip we completely forgot to book the cabana in advance so when we rocked up they checked the available bookings for the day and mentioned there's always cancellations. We were told that they'd come and find us if a cabana became available. which did in our case for a couple of hours.
Slightly off topic but the cabanas in The Wing, HKG are much better we found although no TVs

i tried emailing youfirst a few weeks ago about a cabana reservation, but still haven't received any email back. this was through the online email form. Is there a better way?
