The Lounge
So, this lounge was closed for a very long time, and originally there was a separate first class lounge for Cathay back in my golden age of travel (2012 era). There were also separate British Airways first and business lounges then too. Sadly, times have changed.Now that it is open, it's down the G concourse below the shopping level, where many of the lounges are located. It's a very short walk to many of the OneWorld gates, making life easy.
Plenty of quiet seating, the lounge was a nice change from JAL's rather crowded world.
Dining Area
Well, this is the pampering of this lounge, the made to order Chinese food. Good food, fresh, tasty. Explains the lack of self-serve and well, it's not missed with this kind of food.Snacks
The self-serve area is not so good, only the sodas.
Here are your Cathay people to help you out
Clean, well lit, well-spaced
Computers for you. Does the Chinese government watch them? What do you think
Full service bar for good drinks and coffee. Not designed as a take care of yourself lounge
Reading material to get you traveling more or buying things or just to daydream
Step right up, and order a plethora of dishes
And if you don't want to sit at the food bar, you can sit here in a more cozy atmosphere
This was indeed a sparse selection
The normal drinks was the only 'do it without help' area here. Coke zero is king after a month of Pepsi in Marriotts
