  • [HKG] VS - Clubhouse

    Finally, a VS Clubhouse for me!
    I know, this must be nowhere close to what the ones in JFK/LHR. But I guess I'll settle for this for now.

    The lounge has moved accross the 'hall' from its former location. Nice interiors - as expected, but not as spectacular as LHR's (from the pictures).

    I am entering the lounge as an SQ pax today. The BR agent (this is a joint lounge with BR) who greeted me at the front desk, called a VS agent to take care of me. The agent came out and was very courteous and nice. She apologized that they are unable to serve me items for VS menu (she said SQ pax are entitled to that) since the VS service opens only at 4:30 pm. She brought me a BR menu which was quite nice considering BR pax are just up for short hops to TPE.

    Although the CH at HKG is not up to the standard of the LHR one it is still miles better than the SKL at HKG. Although it is a little bit of a trek up there I definitely think it is worth it.

    When I first went a couple of years ago I was offered the VS menu no matter that time it was (great Satay) but sometime about a year ago they stopped that and now as you say if you are outside of the VS flight times you get the BR menu (still not bad but not as good as the VS one).

      Wonderful! I didn't realise there's a VS CH in HKG. I'll be taking the same flight in a few weeks time and will check it out.

      How does the HKG VS CH compare to the JFK VS CH (the only one I've been to) ?

        I think JFK is better; better food and better service. But as StarG said, it's much better than the SKL. So, can't complain too much!

          I've only been there a couple of times, but each time (flying on SQ) it's taken just a little bit of time to be allowed in, although they do eventually let me in. It's as if they are unsure whether SQ/PPS pax actually belong there--I guess they don't get a lot who take the long trek over to the Clubhouse.

              Any pics of the HKG CH, StarG?

              I must check one of those out one day - so can I just enter the CH with an SQ J or F BP without SQ status?

                Unfortunately, IIRC if you're on SQ it's only for QPPs & above.

                    Do you specifically mean the HKG VS CH ? As far as the JFK one is concerned, I always thought it was open to all SQ J/F pax regardless of status.

                        Your thoughts are right. In addition, a SQ Y passenger with KF Elite Gold status is also able to access the majority of VSCH worldwide, including JFK and HKG.

                        But the VSCH lounge access rules for SQ pax does not allow you to bring in a guest, even if you have LPP status. But then again, we will bound to hear about success stories contrary to the above.

                              Nice pictures.

                              It doesn't look like a normal VS-type Clubhouse, does it? I may be biased here since I've only been in the SFO and LHR Clubhouses.
