HKG First Class Lounge Hopping (Wing & Pier Tour)

[@Sanznachito]

You guys are living the dream! That's quite an advert for Cathay and Qantas. One tip - if you decide to fly from Africa or India to Europe, be sure to book a Qantas flight Dubai London but to take advantage of your AA status - make sure you book an actual Qantas plane, then you can sample the spectacular T3A - Emirates First Lounge using your emerald. Kara will be pleased to board with a glass of champagne in one hand and fresh sushi in the other as you board the A380!

[@karengibson1693]

Some of my favorite videos are of your traveling days. I love seeing the airport lounges, the business class sections of the airplanes and the first class train ride.

[@jamesfreiman]

As a Executive Platinum for the past 11 years...You guys make me smile especially the CP Pier Lounge my favorite

[@mariahone812]

I love your travel days. Especially now during COVID. Still binge watching. Love you guys!!

[@Caroline-qm4sm]

It’s fun to watch them when you’ve been to the same places that they have been

[@danaherbie3208]

It's 4 am I'm addicted to Bing watching I love your channel

[@dohyunchoi3735]

Awesome video! Absolutely love HKG as a fellow Executive Platinum Member! Taking a bath at the Wing, dining, foot massage, plane spotting at the Pier lounge, and relaxing at the snazzy Qantas lounge makes HKG my favourite airport.

[@KaraandNate]

+Dohyun Choi Same here! It makes it hard to leave ;)

[@36paris]

Hope you guys enjoyed Australia (my home)! I love Nate’s interpretation drawing of Australia. Close enough!

[@36paris]

Seriously, how do you guys eat so much food????!!!!

[@533134]

Any recommendations for a future trip?

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks for the preview! I'm stuck at HKG for 6hrs next month and hope to use my OW emerald status before (likely) losing it mid-2017 by visiting all of these lounges. I suspect that the QF lounge should be quieter when I'm there (~0900 to ~1530).

[@cgpandre]

The shot of the EK 380 brought back so many memories , thanks Nate 🙏🏽

[@nancybarnett7984]

I flew Quantas first class to Sydney from LAX on a 747. It was heaven! So great we sent my parents there first class too after our trip. Quantas was so good to us!

[@haleytran7771]

Can I have my life back? I’ve been binge watching your channel for idk how many days now 😅 love you guys and how far you’ve come! 💛

[@finnmeiklejohn7012]

I'm so happy that my family using Cathay for all travel.... Their lounges are always super nice!

[@Akacharlee]

I have to say I had NO idea that lounges were like that...everything free and so comfy...love that you take full advantage of every minute u have in the lounges when available and share it with us ♡ BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO :0)

[@vaibhavkondabathini2725]

Love the way he explains the path

[@esapov]

aaaahhh i miss the airport one of the perks of working in the airport i get to onboard most of the flights and whenever i onboard Cathay Pacific the catering always give us a whole bag of Haagendazs ice cream!!!!

[@jannellebaddeliyanage2908]

If I could binge watch Kara and Nate all night I would there vlogs are great 👍🏼 love u guys from your biggest fan jannelle

[@nicosummrr]

“That’s my bed for tonight” I would do absolutely the same 😂😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ometofu]

You guys need to start writing a book... then do this over again every other year!!!

[@rebeccajarrett6156]

Wow.. Kara and nate!!! Y'all are awesome! Been binge watching y'alls videos.. I wanna go to Vietnam now..

[@Ktizzle921]

Unexpected BBMak cameo at the end. I haven't heard that song in years but I instantly knew all the lyrics.

[@arenson9]

As I slowly go through these, it will be interesting to see whether or not the focus on lounges sustains or wanes.

[@FireCracker3240]

Nate, Don't feel bad for getting everything wet in the lounge. B roll shots are important (I think almost more than establishing shots). They enhance the tone of your scene . By the way, I wanted to say you are really a Pro with these vlogs. Your amazing footage, along with Kara's mad editing skills, make these videos incredibly well done. I always feel like I'm right there with you, experiencing all of these places too. Thank you for that. ❤

[@unitedcomputers]

Heading there on 17/7/2023 with my secretary....lokking forward to it. !

[@kristihulsey8020]

Love that you mentioned Calhouns !

[@Yulian-23]

Thank you Asia for wonderful vlogs, sad that won't see it anymore but excited for new adventures!!

[@Chauncy63]

I know you have explained your mileage farming flights and credit card miles bonus, but do you have different membership cards for all these lounges? Or one membership that lets you in, and do you have to "spend" any points to enter or once you attain a status (with what....airline or card) you just show card and walk in?

[@bobherron4573]

You guys make travel so much "Fun" lovein the food , can we see more please , where ever in the World

[@keyaggie]

Omg, salted egg chips! So yummy! Had them in Singapore, feb 2020

[@ohitsROME]

Hong Kong International Airport is my favorite airport too!! And yesss on playing BBMak at the end of the Vlog-Kara, we'd be besties for sure! hahah!!

[@KaraandNate]

Hahaha yes Rome! How can you NOT drop everything and snapchat perform that song?!

[@caropilewski]

Can't believe that a BBMAK song lead to my first-ever comment (on a years-old video, no less) but that song at the Da Nang airport that Kara was bopping around to really took me back! Very nostalgic for some late-90s, early-00s boy band pop now.

[@colleenhuang9563]

that airport's first class lounge looks so nice! hope you guys have fun at australia! :)

[@KaraandNate]

+Colleen Huang we loved it here!!

[@initialvin]

I'm going to visit The Wing and The Pier next week!! got like a 10 hour layover, just want to ask if I can order as much as I want at the Pier? and I can feel free to leave in and out of both lounges? thanks Kara and Nate

[@KaraandNate]

Jealous! Yes you can get whatever you want. And yes we have gone back and forth between lounges, but it's a long way so I suggest going to the one that's furthest from your gate first :) Make sure you schedule your massage at the Pier!

[@initialvin]

+Kara and Nate guys I saw mike Tyson there!! At the wing first class, I tried to ask for a selfie but he was on the phone, the bodyguard was shaking his head at me, and I walked away :(

[@crisyorke1328]

Damn you got a rolex!

[@uhavemooface]

Why is Kara more organized then you are Nate? Lol. Your laptop has seen better days.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

I am glad you had a great Asian trip.

[@KaraandNate]

+Marcus LeeP we definitely did! We were really sad to leave!

[@Birddraws412]

Enjoy the burger nate... in just four years you'll have the bright idea to ride across Colorado on a bicycle...

[@cindynelson6832]

Hi Kara and Nate, my husband and I enjoy your videos and we are wondering if when you get the free massages in the first class lounges, do you give them a tip?? Thanks in advance!

[@quentinandashtonbyers9797]

I was also sad to leave Asia.. but looking forward to seeing your future adventures :) ...... which would actually be your past for your current world 😆

[@landonsmith295]

6:17 Imagine seeing a girl just standing backwards just smiling as a guy holds a camera to her face. XD

[@GVSU15]

What happened to nate’s watch. I feel like he has gone though many watches during this travel time.

[@lockguy2652]

the lounge joke of getting to the gate late is getting old. but i cannot stop watching

[@mcbenphynn5167]

I always enjoy watching your videos you both are awesome you should keep the fire burning..👍👍

[@teresaanderson6370]

Dear Kara. I bought a long black dress like yours for traveling. Do you remember taking the MTR to the races on Chinese New Year? That escalator ate my dress! I was just standing near the right side as always and felt a really strong pull on the dress. About 15 inches got sucked up in the side! I was able to pull it free- but could have been naked. Be careful out there. 😜

[@cowbayshrub]

Your layover in Hong Kong was so much more enjoyable than my 7.5 hour layover there without lounges

[@chunkysalsa]

How are you guys getting into lounges? Are you paying? Status? Priority Pass? I'm flying to Asia in June and I will be visiting them too

[@KaraandNate]

+Jeff Kuo (chunkysalsa) Nate has one world emerald status and j get in free with him as a guest :)

[@raymondliuao]

HOW DiD you ge access without first class ticket, just wondering. I think that you enter with the aadventage executive plarinum but can you explain me that , please

[@teresaanderson6370]

[@ewanscott3003]

Hope your going to get the change to visit the Qantas first lounge in Sydney or Melbourne? I would say they are better than the Pier/Wing. Keep up the great work!

[@KaraandNate]

We will get to go on April 13th and this made me SUPER extra excited!

[@esapov]

AAAAAAAH EK A380 SO MUCH MEMORIES I MISS THE AIRSIDE LIFE

[@jenniferwilli09]

I know I'm late but the ocd in me wants to go back in time and organize Nate's computer screen so bad 😳

[@francesfritticci6212]

Love you guys just had a bowl in Asia maybe you still reside there one day you never know another couple that I follow decided to go back to Asia and raise their baby and I enjoy following them to our curious Georgia

[@cincpac1c]

Did you have to book the Cabana in advance? Is there a time limit? Sadly, the F section of the Wing was under renovation when I was there last - looks nice now though. Cheers.

[@KaraandNate]

We haven't had to book in advance because there's always been one open. But if they're full I'm sure you could be added to a waiting list. The limit is an hour and a half.

[@inayala]

Kara and Nate! By the looks of it, we missed each other by minutes. It would've been incredible to cross paths -- my brother and I flew from HKG that Friday afternoon and we, too, were hanging out at The Pier. Love the vlogs - on this trip, we stumbled upon that pork bun place on Shanghai Street. Safe travels down under. :-)

[@KaraandNate]

Aw man! So close! Hope you had s great trip. Love that you discovered the bun place!!!

[@sedaguyer3535]

God I wish all the lounges at the HK airport were getting like a major cleaning and closed for a couple days!!!!! Nate's reaction would have been epic

[@listay1]

That burger looked great Nate! Wow.

[@jasonhill9088]

I didn't even know you could triple stack icons on your homepage. 🤪

[@susanmathis1682]

I shouldn't have ate that! 😂😂😂 Soooo funny

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Yes, ice cream in the first class lounge is very cool..

[@KaraandNate]

+Marcus LeeP Nate loved ice cream but especially in an a lounge lol

[@ApprenPlayer]

Why you would to try to travel into parts of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Broken Hill, Adelaide, Perth), Indonesia (Bali, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Bandung, Jakarta) and the Philippines (Manila, Baguio, Laoag and Legazpi)?

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very nice...Good trip for the both of you guys...

[@KaraandNate]

+Marcus LeeP thanks for the kind words :)

[@prabakarvictor1499]

I love that Rolex!!!

[@cecesheart32]

How do you get access into these lounges? Are you two flying first class to gain access? Did I miss your vlog on this inquiry? I would love to gain access to the lounges as well.

[@KaraandNate]

+Cece Rene Nate has one world emerald status so thats how we get in even though we're flying economy :)

[@yvr2002rtw]

Even if you don't have OneWorld Emerald status again, you might still be able to redeem your AA miles (I see that you have enough) for a Cathay First Class ticket.

[@Ham1001dy]

Something tells me that man went all out of his way to make sure you get that ice cream loool

[@habiebiee1]

What do you mean the last time in the lounge?I am sure next year will guys will be doing the same again..and please do share your experiences on youtube……cheers

[@michae8jackson378]

Awesome as always. Nate your computer looks like my wife's. She never cleans her computer. You should see her email. She never deletes anything, lol. As a pilot I'm such a geek about planes. If you could just mention what aircraft you're flying on would be cool. Also if you ever get to fly Emirates do it. It's awesome! And if you can somehow upgrade to first class on the A380, they have showers on board! You guys would love it!

[@KaraandNate]

The pilot told us the aircraft but I can't remember! We'll try to start adding that in :) I would freak out if we got upgraded to a shower seat!!!

[@michae8jackson378]

+Kara and Nate no worries. Next flight just look at the info card that gives you emergency exits, etc. it will tell you what type of aircraft. I know I can't wait to fly on an Emirates A380 or Qatar A380. Either of them have showers!

[@tonnynewyork]

Hi guys, how can you go to the first class lounges in Hong Kong ?

[@bleghbabe97]

I used to think lounges were basically just areas for fancy business people to do business stuff in. Basically thought they were just areas with seating.

[@perdomot]

Asia gets in your blood. I'm heading back to Japan next week for the 9th time in 10 years. Gotta have it. Hope I get lucky like Kara and can lay down and sleep.

[@KaraandNate]

So true! We will definitely be going back as well!

[@rcrdo]

Curious, how many suitcases do you guys carry? after some purchases you probably have added some correct?

[@KaraandNate]

We each have an osprey meridian 22 bag and a backpack with electronics and such. We left some room for purchases when we left, so somehow we've managed to stuff everything in there so far :)

[@michae8jackson378]

+Kara and Nate if you guys end up buying too much, send it home instead of lugging around heavy bags!! Travel tip!

[@elizabethannmb]

Hi Kara and Nate!! Do you plan on visiting Canada during the year?

[@KaraandNate]

Not in the plans this year but we'd love to go next trip!!!

[@sunnee63]

Sweet people, as much as I love seeing you enjoy the airport lounges, it's disrespectful to others to be late for boarding. May by now six years later, you've figured that out. 😉

[@francesfritticci6212]

But you guys are the best the funniest I so enjoyed watching you at the wing eat up

[@slee0687]

Nate, how do you like your new Asian Rolex watch?

[@mumblic]

I find always surprising that you can board with 2 full sizes carry on bags!

[@mirahmay7705]

You sound of gone to a town called Robertson it’s one or two hours from Sydney

[@GeorgeI]

Dude whoa. Is that a real Rolex?

[@gohrzac]

So three days ago was my last day in Hong Kong and at 5:50 there's a soccer team behind you guys that was in my plane coming back to Dubai. This means I was at the airport at the same time as you guys but I missed you. We eclipsed each other. :( aaaand at 7:46 the plane your looking at is the plane I took....

[@KaraandNate]

Awww yes I remember seeing them! Soooo close! Hope you had a great time :)

[@MCFloori]

The Pier or the Wing ? Which one is better

[@linnea9017]

Lounge fanatics. :D Nice to have an empty airplane and buisnissclass- ish 9 hours flight. :D I have eaten way to many sishi's too. I know the feeling. will I do it again. Yes definately. It is never too much sushi. :D

[@theinkyfriends]

They should pay you guys to go on to business class and first class flights to review them and recommend like an a advertisement for the company’s.

[@Markevans63]

you are going to luv Australia! You should be able to get some good Street food in the big Cities especially Melbourne, obviously it won't be as cheap but hey you've been spoilt by your 90 days in SE Asia!

[@KaraandNate]

Really? We will definitely keep our eye out on our day in Sydney! Thanks! But you're right we are SO spoiled at this point ;)

[@Markevans63]

I've got two very good friends that live in Sydney and they say the food truck scene is taking off over there now! Are you going up the East coast? If so head to Byron Bay it's fantastic got a great hippy spiritual vibe going on with a great café culture as well

[@bikramdas01]

Lucky guys.....hope u guys slept a bit on the flight!

[@KaraandNate]

Yes we each ended up with a whole row to ourselves! :)

[@YosuaOs]

this vid gave me inspirations for my next trip (y)

[@rcrdo]

By the way... street food and almost everything else you saw in Asia is also very common in Mexico, outside the touristy areas ;-)

[@saraht8003]

Lol I used to live in HK and lets just say I was there once or twice when I was around 5

[@faifaiyung]

Welcome to HK!

[@hidayahawalludin8855]

omg i love you guysss!

[@jackvicory9025]

Woooww Nate you didn't have to flex on us so hard with all those AA miles haha. Just kidding love the videos keep up the good work!

[@LOisEudi]

Great vids..

[@DrBrainrape]

How much was that knock off Rolex?

[@KaraandNate]

+DrBrainrape $30 :)

[@aviationdylan3353]

DrBrainrape wait is it really a knock off im really done

[@ravi2396]

When you get mugged it will come in handy as a bargaining tool to save your life. nice bait you have there but on the other hand people may just want to kill you rather than mug you ....

[@matthewlopez795]

Technically your Rolex could have been confiscated in Hong Kong and Switzerland lol. Love your videos guys!

[@lindsaybaxter1984]

spoiler... it was not the last time there were in that lounge

[@Beneluxflights]

With wich card did you get into the lounge ?

[@KaraandNate]

+Beneluxflights Nate has One World Emerald status which got us lounge access since we were on a one world flight that day :)

[@Beneluxflights]

Thank you for the info. Keep up the lounge/airport/travelvlogs! ;)

[@Cas_tkto]

Omg this thing happened at 8 April and the upload date was at 11 April I can tell by looking at the ticket

[@wessebaggers]

❤

[@hecthore11]

What's next after Australia?

[@KaraandNate]

+Hector Lawas We are in New Zealand! With poor wifi connection unfortunately. We'll update asap :)

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

I would like to send you something. Do you have an address for home when you aren’t traveling

[@jongapong]

Travel safe you both! :)

[@quackattack87]

Kara...you should do a gum endorsement

[@jeffpope2162]

Can anyone visit the first class lounges or do you need to pay?

[@KaraandNate]

You can't pay to access first class lounges unless you pay for the first class plane ticket. We got in with Nate's one world emerald status :)
