That depends, around the peak times for ICN the PP lounges are going to be ram packed with people waiting 30+ minutes to get in.

No, I'm not joking about the lines and the waiting times.

For first class passengers, is CX still sending them to this Airlines Association Lounge?

Thanks for the heads up above. Just booked a return ticket to ICN, will show up last minute unlike departing from HKG. What a disappointment.

Still closed

The crappy, supposedly temporary lounge is still here; I'm in it. If CX is refurbishing their own lounge they must be doing it at a rate of one brick or tile per day......

I've actually not seen anything official from CX that they are renovating the ICN lounge. Maybe it's not actually happening.

Construction would have only started in the last 1-2 months or so because CX and SQ would have needed OZ to vacate their original lounge.

I suspect nothing is being built by CX at the moment.

I'm just a SL, originally I have lounge access due to there being a CX lounge at ICN, but since it's closed, do I get access into the temporary lounge? I have Priority Pass as back-up to enter other lounges though
