Cathay Pacific reopened The Bridge lounge at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) this week. The Bridge has been redesigned with new features as well as familiar favorites for customers to enjoy before their flights. This is the first phase of a multi-year strategy that will see Cathay refresh its lounges in its Hong Kong hub.
The reopening of The Bridge comes as the airline prepares to renovate The Wing, First. This lounge will close May 23rd and reopen at some point in 2026. The Wing, Business will follow after to ensure that premium passengers and those with oneworld® status will always have an open lounge in Hong Kong.
Another of Cathay’s Business Class lounges, known as The Deck, will also be renovated. Starting May 21st The Deck will serve as an interim First Class lounge as The Wing, First is refreshed. Eligible customers can also continue to visit either The Pier, First and The Pier, Business while these changes are underway.
Over the next two years, Cathay Pacific will launch lounges in Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), which is its first there. This is all a part of the Cathay Group’s more than HK$100 billion investment into new aircraft, cabin amenities, lounges, and digital innovations.
The Bridge lounge is located near Gate 35 in Terminal 1 at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). The lounge brings together design elements and material choices that are meant to mimic a residential ambiance with cherry wood, framed screens, black granite, travertine, carefully selected plants, furniture, and original artwork from the airline’s award-winning “Gallery in the Skies” concept.
The Bridge will also be the first Cathay Pacific lounge to adopt a biometric check-in system along with a traditional check-in desk.
When it comes to dining, The Bridge is divided into the left and right-hand sections, with the left offering Chinese dishes (including Cathay Pacific’s iconic Noodle Bar) and the right focused on international cuisine.
Chinese regional small plates and lighter choices along with a dim sum cart will all be options on the left side. The Food Hall on the right features front-of-house ovens for an elevated oven-to-plate concept. Dishes like beef bourguignon and Provencal vegetable bakes, alongside freshly baked pastries, salads, and desserts will be on offer.
The right-hand side will also offer a dedicated space for First Class customers and Cathay Diamond members to relax with some privacy.
The Bar offers panoramic views of the runway along with cocktails, barista-made coffee, beer, wine, and Champagne.
Anthony’s Take: Cathay had me at dim sum. I love the investment in the passenger experience and a lot of thought has gone into this lounge and the others being refreshed.
