Many airlines operate their own executive lounges at this sprawling airport. If you are flying business or first class, or you are a frequent flyer with an airline, you could be eligible for free entry to your airline's VIP lounge. Facilities will differ in these airline lounges, so upper class passengers may even also wish to book time in one of the airport lounges. The airport lounges are available to all for a reasonable entry fee.
It doesn't matter which airline you are travelling with or in which cabin you'll take your seat, the lounges at Hong Kong International Airport welcome all passengers.
So what do you get in an airport lounge? You can help yourself to a wide range of food and drink for starters, and then, when you've plunged into the comfort of the armchairs and sofas, log on to the free wi-fi or pick up a newspaper or magazine. And all of this can be enjoyed in the serene environment of the lounges. See? You don't have to travel first class to enjoy first-class treatment ahead of your flight.
Pre-booking access is also ideal for those on stopovers (as well as for those who haven't kept any Hong Kong dollars after a stay) as you don't need to worry about local currency - all the usually-costly airport extras, such as food and drink, are included in the upfront cost of your visit to the lounge.
