Lounge admittance

Our Cathay Pacific lounges are available to First and Business Class passengers, selected Cathay Pacific’s 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.

If you're travelling on Cathay Pacific operated flights in different cabin classes within the same journey, you can enjoy lounge access if at least one sector of your journey is booked in First or Business class, and your connection is within 24 hours.

We will honour the highest class of travel for lounge entitlement* throughout the same journey to ensure maximum comfort. In cases where the journey includes a stopover, lounge entitlement will be honoured based on individual sectors.

*Please note that lounge entitlement is determined by the highest tier of benefits applicable to the passenger and cannot be combined with other membership benefits.
