Cathay Pacific business class lounge, Hong Kong

Looking at the flight schedule we have a 3  & 1/2 hrs transit so should have plenty of time to get to the Pier if we are on time.

Has anyone used the electric buggy hire in HKG airport ? I see it goes from gate 25 to the Pier and costs $50 AUD for 5 pax but is on a first come first served basis. As we arrive at 0830 I was wondering if there is usually much of a waiting time? At $5/head it would be well worth it or so it would appear.Might be quite good if this is correct and theres not too long a wait.

I seem to remember reading on the Cathay Pacific website that you can only access any lounge if you have a transit time of 4 hours or more in HKG airport. So which is it?

Yes, I've spent time in the lounges and lounge-hopping (hey, it's a job!) well more than four hours ahead of my flight. I know a chap who had early morning arrival into Hong Kong on CX138 and a much later onwards leg to London, he intended to head into the city for the day but the weather was appalling – massive heavy rainstorms – so he just hung out at the airport all day, sampling the different lounges.

Thanks David. I thought that was the case but it was nice of vvbjr to bring it to my attention even though turned out to be  incorrect  just in case!!!

I dropped by The Wing and wasn't overly impressed.  Crowded.  Posting this from The Pier now - worth it if you have time to get here, it's a significant walk.  Very impressive lounge.

I have just done the CX flights through HKG and was very keen to try the Pier but never got around to it.
