The Pier is simply unbelievable
Final November I had the pleasure of visiting Cathay Pacific’s lovely and distinctive The Pier First Class Lounge at Hong Kong Worldwide Airport. You’ll be able to learn my full ideas right here, however merely put it instantly jumped into my high 5 lounges on the planet and perhaps even into the highest three.
Lengthy hallway
It’s merely a beautiful departure from the everyday Cathay Pacific black marble decor. There’s off-white marble, lovely wooden decorations, and an incredible mid-mod design within the eating room.

What about The Wing?
I’ve at all times loved The Wing, Cathay’s different First Class Lounge at HKG. It’s identified primarily for 2 issues: the Champagne Bar and the Cabanas. The Champagne Bar is, you’ll by no means consider it, a bar stuffed with champagne, and the Cabanas are superb rooms you could chill out in throughout an extended layover.

The Wing Cabana
As you’ll be able to see, the Cabanas are spectacular areas with a snug day mattress do you have to desire a nap and an open bathe/tub association if you wish to draw a shower. Even higher, cling a shirt within the closet, press a button, and VOILA! it’s pressed for you whilst you lounge.
Again to The Pier…
Honesetly I believed that was the first distinction between The Wing and The Pier, however then I spotted that The Pier really has an analogous type of providing: the Day Suites.
Day Suite
The day suites aren’t almost to the extent of the Cabanas on the Wing (they’re a lot smaller and don’t have showers or the like) however they’re quiet rooms with thick curtains and shades you’ll be able to draw to have a relaxation.
Mattress (after me laying on the pillow, it was a lot fluffier, promise)
To get to the Day Suites you merely method the Foot Therapeutic massage Desk (most likely a extra official identify for it however oh properly) and ask. They’ll escort you up a ramp, by means of a thick glass door (to isolate the day suites from the noise of the lounge), and right into a hallway of Day Suites.

So what’s the large deal?
Simply looks like a small room, proper? Properly, sure, it’s, however I needed to be sure you noticed it, and there’s one huge benefit The Pier’s day suites have over The Wing’s Cabanas: tarmac views! There was a large Thai Airways A380 on the gate in entrance of the window which was just about the very best factor ever for a aircraft nut like myself.
