Cathay Pacific First & Business Class Lounge

This was very strange. I was flying United (BusinessFirst) to Los Angeles out of Melbourne. For whatever reason, instead of sending us to the Air New Zealand lounge, passengers were directed to the Cathay Pacific lounge. At first, I thought this would be fine. After all, Cathay is known as a top-​tier carrier and assumption would be that the lounge would be of commensurate quality. Ummmmm, no. One of the worst lounges I’ve ever been to. Sparse refreshments and food, small and cramped, shabby furniture. Avoid.
