Cathay Pacific trials pay-your-way access to business class lounges
By David Flynn, October 10 2018
IN BRIEF | Cathay Pacific is now letting passengers pay their way into a handful of its airport lounges under a six-month trial.
Premium economy and economy passengers who don't hold lounge-worthy frequent flyer status can pony up HK$600 – that's a whopping A$108 – to cool their heels in the Cathay Pacific lounges at Manila, Melbourne and Vancouver.

It's highly questionable if a visit to Melbourne's rather dated Cathay Pacific lounge is worth even half that much, especially with the recently-opened Plaza Premium Lounge asking $60 (or free with an American Express Platinum Charge Card or Centurion Card, or via Priority Pass membership) while it offers cooked-to-order dishes alongside a bar and barista service.
The Manila and Vancouver lounges are significantly better value for money, as both are among Cathay's newest lounges and include not just the warmly comfortable Ilse Crawford design but the popular Noodle Bar.

Even so, $110 could definitely go a fair way in either airport without your setting foot inside those cosy lounges.

I can almost see the point. For instance, if your company requires you to fly in Economy but you want a bit of comfort beforehand, I'd fork out the A$ to get into a decent lounge.

Marhaba pay per use lounge in MEL at $65 is much better value and has actual natural sunlight i.e a pretty good view of the runways and barista made coffee etc

I was walking past the Plaza lounge in Melbourne recently and they had a sign out for $35 lounge entry for walk ups. I would take that any day over this from Cathay

I use it and it is generally reasonably busy before Cathay flights. I prefer the Qantas lounge for food but if I don't need a big meal a few dumplings and a beer at the Cathay lounge hits the spot. Also they have some nice showers. Most importantly, they call Cathay flights and you can hit up the staff to try and get a last minute upgrade.

Mind you, if you were paying the Plaza lounge is a much better option.

The best thing at Melbourne are the bathrooms, wouldn't pay $$$$ for them! I often go upstairs for a 'break' from the claustrophobic conditions.

The problem of CX MEL lounge is not about money, it's... too many people there. Imaging the 00:50 flight has 70+ eligible guests in the MEL lounge while the flight has 270 capacity...

“Even so, $110 could definitely go a fair way in either airport without your setting foot inside those cosy lounges.” Couldn’t be a truer statement! If one does not have lounge access eligibility, not really worth it, especially if a group of 2 or more!

Why does CX even have a lounge in MEL? I thought they would just use the QF J & F lounges.

I expect that with 3 flights a day x 40-50 passengers eligible for lounge access, it's probably cheaper to run a lounge than pay Qantas to use theirs. Also given the size and location, the rent can't be that high.
