4 Hours in HKG without Lounge? (Qantas Club Member - Flying Cathay)

[whereishome]

Upcoming work trip. I’m flying BNE-SYD-HKG-TPE with the lot ticketed through QF but HKG-TPE is on CX (because QF doesn’t fly HKG-TPE). Arriving TPE at 12.40am local after a 6am BNE local departure too.

I have QF Club but only QFF Bronze at the moment (will hit silver for the first time since 2012 on the way back). Anybody care to give me the chances I can beg my way into the HKG QF Lounge while I kill 4-5 hours in transit?

So QF127 > CX408?

I'm guessing you're in economy?

You'd have access via Qantas Club for the flight back (assuming same routing for the return), but doesn't appear to be the case for the outbound as the next onward flight isn't on QF. You could ask and see.

Buckley's, IMHO.

You can always check out the Skydeck while in transit?

Another taste of Xiamen summer

Now that China is visa free, I thought of taking this opportunity for a side trip while I was travelling to Singapore/Thailand/Malaysia. I've already been to the major cities of Beijing and Shanghai, as well as Shenzhen, and narrowed my choice of destination down to Chengdu, Chongqing and...

Give it a try, I say. On paper - No - but we don't always live on paper.

I tried once before doing the exact same on my way to TPE and was rudely turned away. Perhaps consider paying to enter the Plaza Premium Lounge as an option.

Much to see when arriving at 5.50pm and departing at 10.50pm? I just wanted quiet for a few hours, a decent shower and a few drinks.

There are some paid lounges at HKG (Plaza Premium), dunno what they're like though.

Ok for free but would not pay for it @opusman

This might be something to explore @whereishome
