Dear SiteAdministrator,

We are pleased to announce that The Cabin, our new departure lounge near Gate 23 at Hong Kong International Airport, will open on 11 October 2010 for your pre-flight enjoyment.

A truly unique environment designed by Foster + Partners, The Cabin encompasses a modern space with innovative seating and dining concepts. A red carpet brings floor to ceiling windows, signature white marble and wood walls together, while high gloss ceilings complement a variety of ultramodern custom-designed furniture.

Step into The Cabin and experience the following range of features and unique services:

Cathay Solus Chair, each hand finished by Poltrona Frau in Italy and designed completely around your needs

IT workstations with high speed Wi-Fi Internet

Video-conference suite for meetings

iPads for use in the lounge

Juice, smoothies and hot herbal tea from The Health Bar

Made-to-order hot sandwiches and a selection of antipasto from The Deli

A delicious self-serve buffet

And as we continually strive to provide the finest service and space for our members, we’ll be starting renovations of The Wing at Hong Kong International Airport in the fourth quarter of 2010. The opening and closure of the lower level Business Class lounge and the balcony level will alternate by phase, with First Class following once Business Class has fully re-opened.

We hope you will take advantage of the special services and features that The Cabin provides the next time you travel.

Sounds lovely…could they now get Poltrona Frau to do something with their awful business class seat. No point being comfortable in the “cabin” for two hours prior to 12 hours in the “mortuary” as their upper deck business class is referred too in Hong Kong. ( if you wonder why its because from the top of the stairs all that you can see is feet) CX lounges have alwasy been pretty good and this promises to be so too but I would prefer to be more comfortable in flight.
