Run dwell-time maths: lounge value ≈ (hours inside × comfort you will use) − walking time − guest fees.

Not for: passengers who only want a quiet seat and will not eat or shower — gate seating may suffice.

Skip expecting Cathay The Pier depth at the oneworld contract room — different product tier. Skip when Cathay lounge access is confirmed instead. Verify access on the operator site the week you fly — rules change without notice. TravelShifu has not visited this lounge in person.

Wrong lounge tier is the common mistake — business passengers expecting first-only rooms waste connection time.

Short connections: prioritize gate over buffet regardless of eligibility.
