Virgin Atlantic closes Clubhouse lounge in Hong Kong

Despite Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouse lounge undergoing a major revamp in July 2015, with just one flight per day it appears the facility became unsustainable to maintain, particularly given Hong Kong International Airport’s highly competitive lounge offerings.

Eligible Virgin customers (Flying Club Gold members and Upper Class passengers) will instead be afforded complimentary access to the nearby Plaza Premium Lounge in Hong Kong located at West Hall, Level 7, Departure level, Terminal 1.

In a statement to Business Traveller Asia-Pacific, the airline said: “It’s a difficult decision to close the Clubhouse, and we’re working closely with Plaza Premium to continue to provide a dedicated space within the lounge, where Virgin Atlantic customers can relax before their flight and enjoy a range of hot and cold meals, drinks and wifi.” virginatlantic.com
