全球最顶级机场休息厅

　　美国《福布斯》杂志网站日前公布了由权威航空质量评审机构，英国Skytrax公司评出的“2005全球十佳机场头等舱休息厅”，这些机场的东家分别是：国泰航空(香港)、泰国航空、南非航空、韩亚航空(韩国)、马来西亚航空、汉莎航空(德国)、新加坡航空、卡塔尔航空、海湾航空(巴林)、瑞士国际航空等。从具体的排名可以看出，亚洲的航空公司似乎最了解如何迎合乘客的需求。

　　下面让我们按地区来领略一下最具代表性的世界知名航空公司头等舱休息大厅，首先来看亚洲。

国泰航空公司（香港国际机场）
　　通过自己的行动，国泰航空公司已经为其他机场休息厅制定了评判的标准。位于香港国际机场的两座休息厅，"机翼"和"码头"主要接待商务舱乘客，并为头等舱的常客设有会员区。其中的私人酒店被视为"机翼"休息厅中最为豪华的区域，乘客在这里可以享受巨大的浴缸、个人淋浴及宽大的休息沙发。而在"码头"休息厅中，总共有6间代号为"破晓"的休息厅，在这里乘客可以在舒适的扶手椅上收看电视节目，随时享受来自其他休息餐厅的周到服务。如果乘客还有其他需求，这里还有5个其他选择："面条吧"，主要提供新鲜的面条食品；"避难所"，环境十分优雅；"长吧"，顾名思义两翼的长度达到了50英尺；"短吧"，为客人提供咖啡和鸡尾酒；当然也为吸烟的乘客准备了"烟吧"。
　　Cathay Pacific has set the standard against which all other airport lounges are judged. The Wing and The Pier, the two premium CX lounges at Hong Kong International Airport, function as business-class lounges with members' areas for first class clientele. The private cabanas are the most luxurious part of The Wing, where guests enjoy huge sunken bathtubs, personal showers and chaise lounges. Inside The Pier, six Day-Break Rooms are available, in which you can watch an individual television from the comfort of a designer armchair, enjoy waiter service from one of the lounge restaurants or order a wake-up call. Should you choose to emerge and mingle, The Wing and The Pier each have five different options to choose from: The Noodle Bar, which serves fresh noodles; The Haven, which is more elegant; The Long Bar, featuring a bar that's more than 50 feet long in both wings; The Short Bar, offering coffee and cocktails; and The Smoking Bar (self-explanatory).
