Inside Dragonair's G16 Lounge at Hong Kong International

February 6, 2012 at 4:20 PM | by | Comment (1)

We've given you a glorious tour of the unbelievable Cathay Pacific airport lounges at the Hong Kong International Airport from The Wing to The Pier but today we're taking you inside the less-exciting G16 Lounge of Dragonair, a regional carrier of Cathay Pacific.

Located at, as its name indicates, Gate 16, the lounge overlooks the gate area up on high—sort of like a Loft Lounge. The seating areas are very traditional (no Solus pods here) although plentiful. The self-service refreshment counter features plenty of drinks and finger snacks (both Western and Asian, alcoholic and non) as well as coffee and cappuccino.

There's also a kitchen with an on-site chef to prepare Hong Kong specialties like fishball noodles. (We were hoping for some Dan dan noodles like the ones we ate at SFO but alas, we were out of luck.)

Rounding out the lounge amenities are free internet (grab a code from the check-in desk), upscale bathrooms (but no showers), magazines and newspapers for the taking and plenty of baggage storage. The lounge is open from 6am to midnight but the chef is only there from 7am to 6pm.

All in all, it's a nice lounge for those who live in HKG and are frequent travelers on Dragonair. The trees are especially a nice-touch. But for those of you who just arrived in HKG after a long-haul flight and need a place to rest or wash-up before your next leg, consider making the trek across the airport to the other Cathay Pacific lounges.

The G16 Lounge is available for First Class and Business Class passengers of Dragonair and Cathay Pacific as well as for members of the Marco Polo Club. We accessed the lounge as a guest of Cathay Pacific, but all photos & opinions are our own.

A slight correction on opening times.

The G16 lounge is actually open until the last flight of the day, my dreaded 2:30 am return flight to Busan, South Korea. The other CX lounges close at midnight, and you are gently referred to the G16 to wait out your time in an otherwise deserted airport. (3 daily direct flights from Hong Kong to Busan: 1:30am, 2:00am, and 2:30am. Take your pick!)
