CAN: Cathay Pacific Lounge @ Vancouver International Airport

Near Gate 71, Vancouver International Airport, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Daily: 3.5 hours before flight departure

Cathay Pacific unveiled its new lounge at Vancouver International Airport on 4 May 2016, adopting a contemporary and elegant design template that'd been rolled out in other airports in Hong Kong and Japan, but to name a few. Covering an area of 510 square metres, it has a seating capacity of 108 individuals.

You need to take an elevator to go to the lounge, which is located not far from Gate 71 at the International Terminal.



My BFF and I were warmly greeted by the Chinese staff at the counter. In a jiffy, we were let in. 



The Bureau is equipped with three Mac workstations and printers.


The website invites you to "make yourself at home and sink into [the] comfortable, bespoke chairs".


"Anti-abortion wave swelled for decade": are you for or against abortion?

Some of the sofas look a tad tired though.

Canadian North is a wholly Inuit-owned airline.
The Pantry offers light bites and drinks.



Sandwiches and carrot cakes are placed inside the chiller.
For something more substantial, head to The Noodle Bar. Take a look at what we had for breakfast in my food blog.

We had the dining area to ourselves that morning.


The chili oil served at the lounge was really good.

The washroom isn't big.


It was my first time seeing a plea not to dispose tea leaves into the sinks or toilet bowls.
I didn't shower at the lounge, but managed to take a quick look at one of the shower rooms after someone came out of it.


Designed by Studioilse, a London-based design firm led by Ilse Crawford, the lounge features warm, natural materials like wood and stone, alongside softened acoustics and lighting.
