Photos: Qantas reopens Hong Kong business class lounge
May 03, 2023, 06:01 PMThe Qantas lounge certainly has a different vibe than the Cathay lounges but to suggest that they are 'MUCH nicer' I cannot agree. It is in all respects a very decent lounge and well worth a visit - if only for the early evening cocktails (that I hope are still a feature) prior to perhaps d...

Oct 28, 2022, 03:00 PMWhenever I have popped into the Qantas 1st lounge (I am normally next door at CX ) it has seemed full of Americans. from what David mentions I suppose refugees from the American Airlines place. Brits go to the BA lounge because they are Brits

Cathay a couple of weeks ago informed me that my Lifetime club membership (that I had until this was replaced in about 2003) was being restored and would replace my current 'Invitation Diamond' membership.

Poor poor service from Cathay
Nov 04, 2022, 04:17 PMI find this post rather odd. No detail of the flight routing and A$5500 is not a cheap economy fare . The pax mentions that he is a 'long standing member' but not of what and as a CX club member of standing he would have been able to chose an exact seat not merely request an exit row. Who is 'CS'...
