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.

Any review on The Deck?
Flying in April and June. I noticed there is not manned bar in the new lounge according to the CX site? https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...e-deck-lounges
Or is it included in the Terrace? Anybody been to the new lounge lately?
Thanks.

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]

So their catch phrase is to arrive early for The Deck. I wonder how many ways this could go wrong?
I turned up hours early before my flight and then my flight was delayed another 3 hours #lifewelltravelled

[MENTION=13936]aus[/MENTION]bt has pictures up on Twitter. Aside from the outdoor area looks like the standard CX lounge together with empty glasses that havent been picked up for hours.

Video walkthrough of The Deck now up on Australian Business Travellers Facebook page ... very flat out with pics, video, interviews etc.
of note:
* Sodexo expects to take over The Wing in May with The Bridge and The Pier to follow before years end
* champagne upgraded from Mot to Mumm

Nice video and photos - thank you!
From this distance the catering seems quite standard. Not an upgrade from The Wing, and looks like less choice than The Bridge and The Pier. No tended bar either.

I had a very quick 5 min visit at 6pm today. What can I say? Its a lovely lounge that offers a variety of settings and plenty of good vantage spots to observe the Apron symphony below as well as the terminal extension works currently in progress.
I took one photo of the perimeter deck seating, just to tease you into thinking the opening went unnoticed, which is definitely not the case. The central section was buzzing with excitement.

Another on-the-spot Were reporting LIVE from The Deck! update - Sodexo tells me they plan to add spirits to the self-serve bar (those being noticeably absent at the moment) and are also seriously considering finding space for a (small)) bar.
