Lounge admittance
Our Cathay Pacific lounges are available to First and Business Class passengers, selected Cathay members and oneworld partner programme members.
We follow the legal age definition in local laws and policies of lounge operators for alcohol consumption and lounge admission. Definition of legal age may vary across different countries. For passengers under the legal age and travelling alone, our airport teams will arrange for an alternative option when necessary.
We will honour the highest class of travel within the same journey to determine your lounge entitlement, ensuring your comfort throughout. For journeys that include a stopover, lounge access will be assessed based on each individual sector.
If you're travelling on connecting flights within 24 hours that include different cabin classes, and at least one sector is booked in First class or Business, lounge access is available as follows:
Connecting flights operated by Cathay Pacific (CX)
Lounge access is available based on the highest class of travel within your connecting journey within 24 hours.
Connecting flights operated by HK Express (UO)
Lounge access is available at Hong Kong International Airport when all of the following conditions are met:
- You are arriving from a Cathay Pacific operated flight in First class or Business.
- Your HK Express flight is booked on the same ticket as your Cathay Pacific flight.
- Your HK Express flight carries a Cathay Pacific marketed flight number.
Please present both your Cathay Pacific and HK Express boarding passes at the Cathay Pacific operated lounge for verification.
*Please note that lounge access is determined by the highest applicable travel class or tier benefit and can’t be combined with other membership privileges.
