OW lounge in PEK
 
Do any OW airlines have their own lounge in PEK, or do they all rent space. What I really want to know is I am OW Sapphire travelling in Y on CX do I have any lounge options?

Thanks

I'm assuming by the lack of response that the news can't be good?

I'm pretty sure there isn't any and all airlines use a contracted lounge (BGS). But I've never been to Beijing. Sometimes you need status with the airline you are flying (CX does pay for its cardholders to use the BGS lounge).

Thats what I thought but its strange that PEK is served by BA AY QF and CX and they dont have a OW lounge there.

I was in PEK pretty recently and yes it is a contracted lounge. The is OK but nothing spectacular. Seems that OW carriers are split between two lounges there, BGS and the other lounge which I cannot recall the name of.

*a and st each have a larger presence (number of airlines, number of pax, number of flights) than ow there but no dedicated lounges. i suggest you sit tight until the new terminals open.

AFAIK there are no alliance lounges in PEK.

I spoke to CX apparently all OW Sapphires have access regardless of class of travel.

Unfortunatley my travels will also be taking me to CMB which means I have to step back in time and be issued a paper ticket for the entire journey :(

The thread is 10 years old... any updates to this? Traveling in Business from PEK-HEL on AY... wondering what the lounge situation is? The OW website shows 2 lounges for Finnair, both Air China. I'm *Gold, so not too familiar with the OW stuff. Is there an arrivals lounge in HEL?

Since arrivals lounges are not a oneworld benefit you would probably be better off asking that question in the AY forum. Iirc, there is not an AY arrivals lounge in HEL.

You also have the Dragonair/Cathay lounge which you should have access to (as its not a third party lounge).

I suspect its slightly better than the third party lounges, though nothing like HKG

A new terminal was.opened in PEK 8 years ago, and OW airlines moved into it. Yes, there are lounges.

Just out of curiosity, why are you asking about lounges in Finland here?
