I hope this isn’t a sign of haphazard management. Or a sign of where they thought they could cut costs/corners. I’m not sure why the installation of a tended bar is a decision up to Sodexo. The sunk cost would be CXs and given this lounge has physically been ready for a few months I would think that CX already took that off the table. Unless they open a drinks cart on the deck since it looks like there’s some space there. |
I was transiting in HK last night, just managed to visit the Deck for 15 mins. It is obviously much better the Gate 16. I don't think the food quality is any better than Plaza Premium though. Any way I will definitely choose this lounge over The Cabin. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0d5473f9cc.jpg

Do they have beef noodle at the noodle bar, like the one at TPE lounge?
|
I had a chance to visit before it opens; the terrace area feels more spacious than Pier, but lacks charging opportunities.
Not remembering accurately but I think the noodles taste a bit different from Pier too (due to different caterers?), no beef noodle at the time I visited but some 4 choices. So far I'd prefer Pier or the adjacent Qantas for the offerings. It might feel different if I could visit it at different time/crowdedness level. |
QF rear door is closed tonight.

Internet was standing up well when I visited this afternoon - lounge was surprisingly busy given it’d just opened - download speeds still a solid 20Mbps but uploads wound back to a few MB. What I did notice was the queue in the men’s toilet - there are three urinals and two stalls, and both times I visited there was a queue... |
The old lounge used to have comfy sofas with tables, now it's replaced with (seemingly) cheap plastic chairs, how comfortable are they?

On one hand I'm a bit disappointed that they're unifying the lounge experience across the brand but on the other hand, it's a a good experience so why change something that's already working. |

So now this is just another Cathay Pacific lounge, where is the Cathay Dragon's own lounge?
