I have a flight on June 19 MNL- BKK

MNL- HKG is on first class and my connecting flight HKG- BKK is a 2- class configuration only. I know I can access manila's F- class lounge , am I able to access the HKG F- class lounge as well or the C- class lounge? I am aware that i will be given an invitation lounge in Manila for the manila and hkg lounge already or I will be given 2 separate lounge invitation?

You will be given two lounge invitations. Both will be issued in MNL. One will be for MNL and the other will be for HKG. The HKG one will state only for the Business Class lounge. Normally you are entitled to use the lounge based on your class of service irrespective of the ticket you hold. However, you MAY show the lounge agent your original ticket coupon. If it states that you are indeed on a F class ticket, they *may* let you into the F class lounge.. but then again, they may not. So be prepared on that.

How long is your transit anyway?

here's my flight
manila- hkg

CX 900 arrived 3:05 p.m.

hkg- bkk

CX 703 6:40 P.M.- 8:20 P.M.

so I have a 3:35 transit time.

It's also not my faul that they don't offer F class in the Hkg-BKK sector right?

Yes it is, damn you!



If you are willing to overnight at HKG, the morning Bangkok flight (CX 713) does offer First Class. I've done that flight and, while the service is nice, I would not think it would be worth an overnight. It is an option, though.

I am pretty sure that they close it for the night at some point because I have arrived early on a couple of occasions and had to wait until it opened at around 6:00 AM.
