Given all the numerous changes at HKG, it is only fitting this basement level priority pass lounge also gets a makeover. The former Chase Sapphire Lounge has reincarnated into the Terminal 1 location of Kyra, which has several locations across the airport.
The food and drink options are numerous. For starters, their main bar looks like something out of a restaurant and the complimentary cocktails are well made. Speaking of restaurant, the rest of the place is well stocked with chairs and tables, and a nicer lounge in the back.
Staff is very good about greeting folks, keeping things clean, maintaining order, and replenishing food and drink quickly. The only major drag was the fact of bathrooms aren't working.
When it comes to the food, it starts with their very modest buffet. It reminds me a bit of a hotel buffet with dedicated salad stations limited hot foods, along with specialty things such as dim sum and chilled fruit.
While the view isn't exciting, it does showcase an array of Cathay Pacific planes. The Wi-Fi is very good and this is a place I could see myself getting good work done while enjoying the various F&B options. Given the space and all the amenities, I can see why they're considered one of the top lounges in the whole airport (#1)
