I am travelling to Hong Kong next week, on Qantas 97 / 98 to from BNE in economy and will be my first trip there since making Platinum. Which lounge should I use on departure from HK, the new Qantas Lounge or Cathay's The Wing (or is there an even better choice e.g. Emirates lounge etc?). Thanks for your opinions.
I have been in the hopelessly inadequate BNE Qantas First Lounge before, so I already know not to get my hopes up there :)
Since you're Platinum, I suggest you head in a little earlier than you otherwise would, and go lounge-hopping. You might want to start with a shower at The Wing, then have noodles at another CX lounge, try the Qantas lounge dim sum, etc. etc. until you find the one that you really like.
Agree with watson374. Get there earlier than usual and try the ala carte dining at The Wing and, time & availability permitting a shower in a Cabanna room. After that go for a stroll into the QF lounge.
I would agree with above- lounge hopping in HKG is the way to go, but have not done new QF, so looking forward to that. Bolt on question: how early can you check in? Or is their a way to give you more than the normal three hours?

I'd choose Qantas for the seemingly fancier lounge, but I prefer the Bridge in terms of sexy looks, which Emerald can also enter.

I think the updated Cathay First lounge would be the better choice, great menu and drinks selection plus larger shower facilities.
