Cathay's new LHR lounge
Featuring separate First and Business Class areas, Cathay Pacific has unveiled its new premium lounge in Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3, the only one of the airline’s facilities of its kind outside Hong Kong with the distinct zones.
The 1,200 sq m space, 30% larger than its predecessor, has been designed to echo the contemporary Asian aesthetics of Cathay’s acclaimed and award-winning lounges at Hong Kong International Airport.
With floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views of Heathrow’s apron and northerly runway, the opening follows other recent similar developments in Bangkok, Haneda (Tokyo), Manila, Taipei and Vancouver.
General manager product James Evans said: “At Cathay Pacific, we care about our passengers’ experience at every stage of their journey, from the moment they arrive at the airport until they reach their destinations, and our exciting new Heathrow lounge was designed to enable our customers to travel well.
“Our aim was to provide our passengers with a tranquil haven in which to relax before boarding their flights to Hong Kong and we hope our customers are as enthusiastic about the new lounge as we are.”
