Actually I was mixing it up with Pier F (time limit as shown in this article: https://www.executivetraveller.com/i...nge-day-suites). In the furthest area from the entrance in Pier J one can snooze away to one's heart's content as I recall.

Yeah that's why I recommend trying that to the OP. Besides, Pier F is now closed unfortunately.

Wow. I have never, ever seen the Wing this empty. It makes me wonder if CX's revenue is down by 90% in February...

QF lounge

Yes, I went through recently too and agree that QF lounge is now the best lounge option (including vs Wing F) from a food perspective, as long as it's after 9:30am.

Could anyone confirm if the outport lounges are not serving buffet?

To be fair some of the Wing a la carte items are still very good - I had the grouper last week and it was very tasty.

BKK was business as usual for the food part.

When I entered the lounge 2 days around 13:45, I was the first to get in. A 1h later, the lounge was packed to the brim. This whole due to CX combining all day and evening flights BKK->HKG in just 2 nearly fully loaded 351's. (And there was another early morning flight for that route, as well all BKK->SIN has been canceled).

Update from QF, the salad and dessert items are wrapped in plastic, but the buffet spread is still the same

I was there about 8am this morning. It was reasonably busy. Interesting to see your pictures because they are a big contrast to the Pier at 8am this morning, whereby if you’ve been in a hole in the ground the last 3 months and hadn’t heard of coronavirus, AND if you aren’t a regular on Cathay, you probably wouldn’t realize something was amiss. Of course, your 2pm pictures paint a different story.

Based on this, I suspect it is “busiest” during the main transit banks (or what’s left of them), which occur in the morning and evenings.

Now, 8am wasn’t busy by the standard of those of us who know how jam packed these places can get, especially the J lounges .It was extremely pleasant. But there were enough folks in there for it not to feel weird.

Wing First Class

Got to the Wing F at around 8:00am. Looking pretty empty.








Now at the Pier J and also pretty empty. Only me and one other gentleman in the F area.

The Qantas lounge in HK will be closing. No date specified yet, but probably in line with the last QF flight out of HKG which will be by the end of March.

BA passengers (if there are any) will likely be directed to CX lounges.
