The 12 best Cathay Pacific lounges, ranked: 2026

Who gets into a Cathay Pacific lounge

A Cathay Pacific first or business ticket opens every lounge on this list except the two first class rooms in Hong Kong. Cathay Diamond members can bring two guests and Gold members one, as long as everyone is on a oneworld flight that day. oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members on other oneworld airlines get in too, with one wrinkle: the rebuilt Wing First in Hong Kong still admits only Cathay first passengers and Cathay Diamonds, and sends other Emeralds to The Pier First.

We ranked every open Cathay lounge with a photo on file. The Seoul lounge, rated 4.9, and the Bangkok lounge have no photo yet, and The Wing Business and the Narita lounge are closed for now, so none of them appear.

Which one to pick on a connection

In Hong Kong, go by gate. The Deck suits gates 1 to 28, The Bridge sits mid-concourse at gate 35, and The Pier is a long walk to the west end but is the biggest and calmest. First class passengers should pick The Wing First if they are Cathay-ticketed and The Pier First otherwise. Outside Hong Kong, check hours before you plan a meal: Haneda, Paris and San Francisco all shut for parts of the day.
