During my trip to Japan via Mongolia, I had the chance to check out a few lounges at Tokyo Haneda Airport Terminal 3, prior to my Japan Airlines A350 first class flight to New York. One of those was the Cathay Pacific Lounge, which I’ll be reviewing in this installment.

I'm surprised there wasn't at least one or two hot options offered at the buffet, but I guess the ready to cook options make up for that.
I've visited few Cathay lounges (Manila, Hong Kong & Tokyo Narita) on my recent flight with them to Tokyo and every single one of them are aesthetically pleasing and relaxing. In fact, I'm so looking forward to Cathay lounge in Bangkok in the next few days.
This is my favorite lounge in Haneda! Ben, you might have missed but Delta Sky Club is also located in this complex (5th floor). I have never been to there but that Sky Club is also rated above JAL/ANA lounge. It is a shame for Japanese Airlines that they are outperformed by foreign carriers in terms of lounge experience at their hub.
Never crossed my mind to go here . You can see the observation deck from JAL First lounge and it looked awesome. Can’t wait to try this !
Thanks for this post, Ben!
I agree the JAL lounges can get very cramped at times.
I have been through Haneda eight times in the last two years and have seen the lounge but never gone in. This time, while flying through Haneda to Seoul (GMP), I will try out the CX lounge.
Looks more or less the same as CX's LHR lounge (which is a pretty solid choice, as far as lounges go). The CX lounge in LHR even has a dedicated F class section.
Visited twice in Jan and it was beautiful and much quieter than the JAL business lounges below it. As I started reading, I was instantly looking forward to your cappuccino review.
I've heard great things about the French toast which I hope you had the chance to try out!
hong kongers are used to filipino helpers serving them. japan imports cheap foreign labor and cathay can pay less for them. cost saving.
If you don't mind French toast, I highly recommended you try it. It is almost identical to the one served at the Hotel Okura.
You might already know, this lounge is managed by Hotel Okura group (it seems they continue to do so after COVID). In the past, they served bottled water with Hotel Okura logo.
The past couple of times I have been in the Cathay lounge at HND ( morning flights ) outwith the Cathay flight times , the lounge has been very quiet and from the noodle bar window at the far end , you can glimpse Mt Fuji in the distance on a clear day. The staff were very good. The main disadvantage as mentioned is that it closes at 5pm so it will not be available for the late evening flights to Europe etc. Loved the Cathay Delight.
