You'll Want to Arrive at the Airport Early Just to Enjoy Cathay Pacific's New Lounge

Waiting to board a flight can be a bore unless you happen to have access to a swanky lounge and the new offering at Hong Kong International Airport doesn't disappoint.

Cathay Pacific – one of the world's safest airlines – has shared a glimpse into The Deck, an area with panoramic views of the apron and an open ceiling L-shaped verandah. Opening March 22 at Terminal 1 (near Gate 16) the 823 square meter lounge fits up to 180 passengers and even features a Noodle Bar serving up the likes of "wonton noodles in a hearty broth, fish ball noodles and a variety of dim sum and buns."

Mmm … we know where we'll be stopping the next time we're in Hong Kong.
