Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge
Editorial Review
The Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge at London Heathrow is a strong contender among first-class airport lounges (scoring an 8/10). The lounge boasts expansive windows overlooking the runway, providing stunning views. High-quality dim sum and a wide selection of beverages, including premium wines, are highlights. Nap pods offer a quiet escape, and well-maintained showers are readily available. While a dedicated family area is lacking, occasional crowding during peak times can impact overall comfort. The lounge is best suited for solo or couple travelers seeking a peaceful and luxurious pre-flight experience, particularly those with access through Cathay Pacific's first class or Oneworld Emerald status.
