Kachjc beat me to the post!

Here's a cut-and-paste from the media invite:


You are cordially invited to attend a media briefing on 6 February 2013 at which Cathay Pacific will give an exclusive preview of the redesigned First Class lounge of The Wing, before it reopens for passengers use later that evening.
The media briefing kicks off at noon, followed by lounge tour and lunch. There's no more specific time beyond "later that evening" on when the lounge will opens its door to the public.

I wonder why CX has not put out CX world -are they waiting for the lounge to open as well??

Or is it already online and I cannot find it?

Perfect timing as I'll be there on the 8th. :)

I'm on incoming first class flight but onward flight is in business. Has anyone had a problem getting into first class lounge showing the arriving long haul first class stub?

Normally and previously, no.
But things may change with the new lounge. So I guess you will tell us about it.

I assume you are attending in person?

Can you try to cover the following (possibly with pictures)

1) The Onsen style Cabanas
2) The Haven A la Carte Menu
3) The Champagne Bar (what vintage if any do they plan to serve)

Other aspects of the layout etc... are welcome.

I will try it out later next week!

Historically, no problem at all.

I'll be there on the 9th and look forward to checking it all out.
