HIT THE DECK

Departing passengers at Hong Kong airport should check in early to make the most of Cathay Pacific’s newest lounge. Located near Gate 16 in Terminal 1, The Deck spans more than 800 square meters, comprising an open-ceiling veranda with views of the airport apron, eight shower suites, and two lounge areas fitted with designer furniture and pieces by local artists. A must-visit is the Noodle Bar for last-minute Hong Kong specialties before flying out: think wonton noodles, fish ball noodles, and dim sum favorites ( cathaypacific.com).
