Coronavirus: Cathay Pacific to close three Hong Kong lounges ‘until further notice’

[CathayLoyalist2]

A pity they are closing The Pier First Class Loumge probably , in my opinion, the best of the lounges. I wonder if that might mean they will use more of the gates closer to The Wing say gates 1-4 , 9-15 and 22-28

If CX are reducing services by 30% I wonder what the actual passenger reduction figure is – I would hate to even guess….

on My LHR to HKG and HKG – SGN flight it was well below 40% full. I know that tonights HKG to SGN has under 40 people on it. usually these flights are almost full

It all seems a very sensible action by Cathay given the circumstances.
The Wing first class lounge is a very decent lounge and personally I have always preferred the dining set up to that of the Pier and for the far gates the Pier business class lounge is more than adequate for 1st class refugees.
The move also reduces the number of front line staff who are exposed to the travelling public and this must be a plus.

I’ll be passing through there tonight so will report back.
