Gorgeous: Cathay Pacific Unveils New Flagship First Class Lounge, The Wing

Cathay Pacific does an incredible job with its lounges, and in particular, I’d argue the airline sets the industry standard when it comes to lounge design. For quite some time now, Cathay Pacific has been renovating The Wing First Class Lounge, which is one of the carrier’s two primary first class lounges at its Hong…

Tested this out myself. 773 true-First got access; J long-haul OWE did not (at Wing), but still works for The Pier. Of course, there's always The Bridge if mere J without OWE.

Wrong. It's actually beautiful. New shower facilities, dining area, massage space, all excellent. Needs to be actual true First, like on 773, even if short-haul; J with OWE does not qualify.

For anyone who cares...I did actually make it there (the Wing); true First, like 773, qualifies, even if short-haul; long-haul J, even as OWE, does not.

It looks ugly compared to their old design.

I'm hoping I get to try it at as an Emerald, at some point in the future. The other lounge (Pier) is really excellent in the meantime... Also, two trips ago I noticed the Qantas business lounge (granted not first-class) was much better than I expect for business lounges everywhere. It's on the wrong end of the airport for cathay flights, but they had a huge bar, airy high ceiling, and a dimsum cart service! I'd recommend trying it if you have access and haven't been there yet...

You never travelled to Asia first class, have you?

Cathay lounges are some of the best and this renovation looks nice. I’m glad I had a chance to experience the cabanas before they disappeared. It was a wonderful experience. Very disappointing that One World Emerald does not get access right now - I am skeptical it is just temporary. May be a test to make The Wing and The Pier more exclusive.

I loved the bathtub in the cabana it was unique

The loss of the cabanas is a disaster. No amount of polishing changes that.
