@@@ January 7, 2018 ... Location: HONG KONG

Not quite there yet... Due to a slight miscalculation on my part, I missed my flight from Vancouver to Bangkok so it became necessary to spend a night in Hong Kong and arrive one day later in Bangkok. I’ll spare you the sordid details as to why, but I came across a viable option in case anyone else needs to spend extra hours waiting in an airport. Specifically, I refer to PLAZA PREMIUM LOUNGE. What is it? ... “Plaza Premium Lounge (West Hall)

This airport lounge facility is the newest lounge to open in Hong Kong. It is an airport lounge open to all travellers, irrespective of airlines or class of travel. 

The flagship boasts a whole new modern contemporary lounge design by leading Hong Kong designer Kinney Chan of KCA. 

It is conveniently located directly after airport guests exit the automated people mover and includes fantastic facilities including comfortable lounge seating, business centre facilities, internet workstation that are Wi-Fi enabled, shower rooms, private resting areas and a great range of food and beverage offering a range of international cuisines. The signature Hong Kong-style Fish Ball Noodles and home made XO sauce is a must-try at the lounge.

Ideal for guests whose boarding gate is located after Gate 30 or above, the airport lounge is near Gate 40. 

Inside lobby of Plaza Premium Lounge. All things considered, when you add total costs of accomodation, food, beverages etc. This option is reasonable. The biggest benefit is the absence of all the hassle of having to leave the airport and return.
