IIRC, the QF back door was only open in the evening before. The whole back section of the lounge past the buffet was closed the last time I was there during the day (mid 2017). Maybe things have changed.
I think they can keep the back door closed as they have a door release in the case of emergencies. |

Hmm looks like good timing, as I'll be going thru HKG a few days later ^
Now if I make it here ;) Lots of lounge opportunities ^ |

Does the QF lounge still offers the shortcut at the back to the Deck? Previously remembered that you could exit the back of the QF lounge and it would have brought you directly to the then G16 lounge and the escalators down to the gate. But of course, the G16 was so crap, that nobody bothered going.
If the shortcut was still open, I was just thinking - I can so see that the opening of The Deck could cause CX's partner lounge bill to skyrocket lol :) It wld be convenient to visit the Deck via using the QF lounge as a thoroughfare (QF bills CX for CX metal pax - kaching thank you very nuch) CX will probably kick and scream (and lobby HKIA to somehow shut down the exit). OTOH QF would be happy to claw back plenty of revenue it pays to CX for its own members lounge crawls. But as they say in real estate - Location, location, location. :) |

I have little sympathy frankly for QF, which has woefully under-invested in its route network and air and ground product in Asia in recent times. Luckily we all have CX. :)

The door and the entrance desk are still there, although the door is closed as there is nowhere to go once through it.
I assume the door will re-open when The Deck opens, as the stairs to access The Deck will be in use once again. |
One thing to note - the Deck is having their usual PR event on the opening day, and won't be open to the public until the evening of March 22:
The Deck is expected to open to business class travellers and eligible frequent flyers in the early evening of Thursday March 22. |
FYI: media preview and official opening of The Deck slated for 12.45pm to 2.30 on March 22, so fingers crossed for a late arvo opening [I'll ask at the preview and will be sure to include details on the tweetstream at @AusBT]

The Cabin to close on 4/30.
Too much lounge capacity? Persistent air conditioning issues? While it wasn't my favorite lounge at HKG, I will miss the juice bar. |

Soft opened? Saw a thorough p/review/walkthrough on instagram. Looks nice enough. Showers resemble LHR/Pier J rather than Pier F. The food, if really 'Sodexoed', looks deceiving enough for those not in the know. Some of the furniture strangely reminds me of AMEX Centurion lounge.
