Was 9000 a few months ago, so good chance that it will be the same? https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37299090-post10.html

Just departed at MNL, they said it is an electricity issue.

still closed?

I’ve just had a follow-up email from CX advising that the compensation will be 12,500.

That's easily worth over $100 so very generous IMO, especially if you arrive close to departure and donn't use lounges anyway. And, there is a (rubbish) PP lounge in that terminal.

JAL is located in terminal 1. Maybe they are building one lounge at every terminal except PAL has a nice lounge in terminal 1 that is newly renovated so not sure they will want to move.

Received an email from CX last night informing of lounge closure for my flight tonight. Will credit with asiamiles but didn't specify how many miles in the email.

They will reopen tomorrow

Thank God. The lounge situation is horrible at terminal 3. This is especially true during the rush around 4-7pm.

unfortunately it was still closed as of this morning. Staff said "maybe" tomorrow

Received an email from Cathay yesterday. 12000 miles, DM.

Was it indicated in your email you’ll receive 12k points? It’s not mentioned in my email. I am Gold.

Now SM Corp are running NAIA I would have expected this to be resolved fairly quickly as there have been noticeable improvements in both departures and arrivals in MNL since they took over management (although it is still a nightmare of an airport). Pure speculation on my part, but normally these things take forever in PH due to the fact there will be a disagreement as to who is going to be paying for whatever it is that needs to be fixed; Cathay will be expecting the airport to pay, and the airport will be blaming Cathay.

I remember many years ago, the SQ lounge in T1 had no running water for over a year and they literally had buckets of water with a 'tabo' next to each toilet to facilitate flushing province style. The lounge put a notice up advising passengers of 'Low' water pressure, when in fact there was none at all.

They had an electricity issue in December. None of the charging sockets (and a bunch of the lamps) were not operating. The lady in the lounge said there had been some kind of power surge a few days earlier and they were waiting to find out how it would be fixed. She may even have said the lounge might close because of it, I can't recall.

Any updates from anyone flying through Manila?
