Guide to Hong Kong Airport Transit Overnight Lounge VIP Lounge

It is very common to stay overnight at Hong Kong Airport. Due to the rapid rise and prosperity of Hong Kong's economy in modern times, Hong Kong has opened many routes from all over the world. There are not so many flight routes from the mainland, so many people go abroad. Tourists choose to transit in Hong Kong. Here we will share with you a detailed guide to VIP lounges for overnight stays at the airport during transit.

The first type is an international transfer, arriving in the middle of the night, and having a relay flight early the next morning, so you spend the night at the airport without entering the country.

The second option is to arrive at Hong Kong Airport in the middle of the night, wait until the next morning after immigration, and then take the Airport Express to the city.

As for the second type, I personally tested it when I didn’t have a PP card. I dragged my suitcase and slept on the ground in the airport waiting hall. It was clean and there was no police or security to disturb me. Later, I discovered that there are actually all-night buses, such as the A21, that run from the airport to the city, so there is no need to spend the night at the airport. Later, I learned that there is a dedicated Plaza Premium under the Airport Express Railroad where you can stay overnight, which is perfect.

It should be pointed out that I gave up the opportunity of a one-night stay at the Airport Regal Hotel provided by the inviter. Here is my actual guide to staying overnight in the VIP room.

Guide to overnight stay at the HKIA International Transfer Lounge at Hong Kong Airport

I am flying from Shanghai to the Philippines this time. Since I was notified only 8 hours before departure, all direct flights have been booked. , so I booked a connecting flight from Hong Kong to Manila, specifically

Arriving at Hong Kong T1 at 23:30

Departing from Hong Kong T1 for Manila at 09:00 the next day

In this case, it is equivalent to a 9-hour stay in Hong Kong and one night is required.

The inviter provided me with an accommodation budget at the Regal Hotel at the airport. However, I felt that it would be troublesome to enter and exit the country. Secondly, I wanted to personally verify the comfort and feasibility of staying in the airport VIP room, so I declined. After signing up for the opportunity to stay at the Regal Hotel, I went straight to the transfer counter after getting off the plane.

The flight was Cathay Pacific business class, and with the PP card blessing, there were three VIP rooms in this trial

First of all, I need to reassure you that the two PP card-accessible Plaza Premiums in T1 of Hong Kong Airport operate 24 hours a day and seamlessly support overnight stays. The PP unlimited card only needs to be swiped every three hours.

In fact, PP card originally had three Plaza Premiums in T1, but one on the duty-free shop floor was converted into Plaza Premium First. PP card users also need to pay HKD 200 to enter. I don’t think it is necessary, so I went to the Plaza Premium next door.

The advantage of this lounge is that it is located at the departure gate hub. It is very convenient to go to various departure gates from there, whether you take a small train or just walk there. For those who arrive at night, This is very useful for passengers whose boarding gate for their connecting flight the next day has not yet been announced. The directions given by the PP website are Airside-EastHall, Level6, DeparturesLevel, nearGate1: on the sixth floor near the No. 1 boarding gate.

However, after getting off the plane, I did not go straight to Plaza Premium, but went to Cathay Pacific's business class lounge.

24:00-2:00 the next day

In the Cathay Pacific business class lounge Linglong Hall, I did two things: take a shower and eat fruit.

Because there are always queues for bathing in Plaza Premium, taking a bath in Linglong Hall is the best choice. After entering, there is no need to queue, and the aunt leads you directly to the shower room. The supplies are very good and the fragrance is delicious. Towels and thick slippers. These slippers are very useful and will be mentioned later.

After taking a shower, I had a late-night snack based on fruit, and then read the newspaper for a while. Two hours passed like this. When I left, the staff stamped a stamp on the boarding pass. , meaning you can enter again the next day.

2:00-5:00

In line with the professional spirit of not fussing or unhappy, the staff informed Linglong Hall on time at 2:00 that it would be closed, so he went to board the flight on the 1st Overnight at Plaza Premium at the Gate.

I tried lying down on the booth sofa in various sleeping positions for a while, but found it difficult to fall asleep. At this time, I decisively put on the slippers I had taken from Linglong Hall to let my feet breathe. It was hard work. After staying up until five o'clock, you can change places again. Since this lounge is very popular, there are countless introduction posts here, so I will omit them all.

5:30-8:30

Cathay Pacific’s business class lounge opens at 5:30 in the morning. I changed a room and came to El Liantang, which can be said to be Cathay Pacific's flagship business class lounge. It has huge glass facing the tarmac, stylish layout, and delicious Hong Kong-style snacks for breakfast. Everything beats Plaza Premium. .

I slept soundly on the single sofa here for three hours, until I was awakened by the sun and it was time to board the plane.

If you really want to have a good rest and sleep, but don’t want to go far away, and if the budget allows, the Regal Hotel at the airport is the best choice. It has a spa and swimming pool that are free for guests. The most important thing to use is convenience. You can push the trolley to the departure hall. It is recommended for passengers who stay overnight for more than 8 hours.

If you want to stay overnight for free and pursue quality, staying overnight in a lounge is the best way. Plaza Premium, which operates 24 hours a day, provides the last line of defense. It’s also a good option to go to other airlines’ lounges at the end of the flight to improve the conditions. Recommended for travelers with an overnight stay of less than 8 hours.

I would also like to raise some questions here. Is there a 24-hour airline lounge in T1 of Hong Kong Airport? I was not in good physical condition during this trip. I did not chat with the flight attendants or waiters. I spent most of the time trying to sleep languidly. Therefore, I apologize for the missing iconic erotic content.
