Chase Sapphire Lounge: A hidden wonderland next to Gate 40

#Hong Kong Airport VIP Lounge I pushed open the frosted glass door and instantly fell into a modern space in New York's Upper East Side. The 6-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows turned the apron into a dynamic mural, and the image of Boeing's giant wings cutting through the clouds became a dining scenery! As a new elite in 2025, this place perfectly interprets "small crowds mean luxury": there are no more than 100 seats in the venue, and the velvet sofas are spaced wide enough to dance tango. Solo travelers can occupy the "captain's view" by the window and watch the planes take off and land with champagne. 🍸 Cocktail Lab VS Hong Kong Soul Hot Food The bar area is the highlight! The bartender is dressed in a white robe like a chemistry professor, holding a shaker to mix "Oriental Mary" - vodka mixed with pickled plum juice, and the edge of the glass is dipped in chili powder. The triple attack of sour, sweet and spicy awakens the taste buds. Scan the QR code to order food, and you will find surprises: slow-cooked pork ribs drizzled with Hong Kong-style barbecue sauce, and the meat and bones will separate with a light touch of knife and fork; the hidden menu "Benedict Eggs with XO Sauce" is a combination of Chinese and Western, and the yolk will make you feel guilty the moment it flows. Free Wi-Fi is fast enough to watch TV series in 4K, but the charging sockets are hidden! The bottom of the bar and the seams of the sofa need to be dug in "detective mode", and you will want to hug the person who invented the universal adapter if you have a three-pin plug. Don't miss it before leaving - Art Easter Egg: The toilet passage is hidden with a local illustrator's "Aircraft Anatomy Diagram", humorously marked "The Dream Product of Business Class Passengers - Reclining Seats" ✈️ This playfulness in the aloofness is the soul secret weapon that Chase Lounge uses to defeat the old VIP lounges! Free entry with Priority Pass! AE Platinum Card comes with PP membership, so budget travelers can also pretend to be celebrities.
