If you are holding The Platinum Card from American Express, you will no longer get to enjoy the Golden Circle Jade membership as part of your Card Membership so if you are thinking about retaining your Jade status for the year ahead, this is a fantastic time to lock-in some stays (especially when the room rates are still low).
As always, elite-qualifying nights are fully paid hotel room nights that include bookings made through the Shangri-La website, Shangri-La mobile site, Shangri-La mobile application, Participating Hotels or Golden Circle Member Services directly. These rates also include Luxury Circle and Virtuoso bookings that you make on platforms like ClassicTravel.com (where you can enjoy USD 100 property credit with each stay) or HoteLux.
Cathay Pacific has officially reopened The Bridge lounge at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) as of 7 May 2025. Fully redesigned with a refined “living room” aesthetic, the 27,000+ sq ft space features new dining concepts like The Nook, upgraded shower suites, and a dedicated First Class section. Perfectly timed ahead of The Wing renovations, this revitalised lounge is once again a must-visit for eligible Cathay Pacific and oneworld travellers transiting through HKG.
