Well the Hong Kong Airport website still lists it as "temporarily closed" so that suggests Emirates are still paying for the space. But no idea when it might reopen.

The message is that the Emirates Lounge is still closed because of Covid. What!? In the meantime we have to put up with the Premium Plaza Lounge. Help!

It is ridiculous that it remains closed but there is the QF lounge, Plaza ‘premium’ is nothing short of a disgrace

Flying business class from HKG. I do see the reviews for Plaza Premium are horrible. The Qantas lounge was mentioned, so that is an option?

See here for confirmation: https://www.qantas.com/ar/en/qantas-...lass-of-travel

But note that the opening hours of the lounge are 2:30pm until the last QF departure.
https://www.qantas.com/au/en/promoti...ng-lounge.html
And currently the last QF departure each day is at 19:30, so it's only useful for EK 383 and 385(ish), and not for EK381.

Something not right here, HKG airport website says 07.30 to 23.30 & if you click the link to QF site, it confirms

Oh. That's interesting. So there are two different pages for the Hong Kong lounge on the Qantas website with completely different opening hours! The first one is the only one returned if you search "Hong Kong Lounge" on the Qantas website!

Yes, usually the HKG website on lounge access is accurate, they were the first to state SQ had reopened

I think the problem is the old page on the QF website which is the one its search turns up. I'd be fairly confident that the lounge is open until 11pm, as per the HK Airport website and one of the pages on the Qantas website.

I was in HKG not long ago, asked around about those still-to-reopen lounges and both EK and UA were said to be in the 'sometime in 2024' bucket (not even an 'early-mid-late' 2024 timeframe specified, just the broadest possible 'sometime in 2024'). Surprised both have not reopened already.

There was a question earlier seeking clarification of the opening hours of the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge (due to some confusion over conflicting times on two Qantas pages): I can confirm it's open 7.30am to 11.00pm.
