港龍香港-台北商務艙(Dragonair Business Class: Hong Kong-Taipei)

雖然說香港機場有滿滿的國泰航空貴賓室,不過其實寰宇一家的旅客還有另外一個選項,就是澳洲航空香港貴賓室。除了國泰銀卡搭乘經濟艙,只能使用國泰貴賓室以外,國泰金卡以上、寰宇一家藍寶石卡以上,還有搭寰宇一家航空商務艙的旅客,都可以來使用澳航香港貴賓室。在國泰貴賓室人滿為患的時候,是一個不錯的選項。

Even though Hong Kong Airport already has a handful of Cathay Pacific Lounges, there's actually another option for oneworld travelers, which is the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge. With the exception of Cathay Pacific Marco Polo Silver members traveling in economy, whose access are limited to Cathay Pacific's own lounges, all other travelers who have access to Cathay Pacific lounges (Marco Polo Gold & Diamond members, oneworld Sapphire & Emerald members, and oneworld Business and First Class customers) can access the Qantas Lounge as well. This is a really nice alternative as sometimes Cathay Pacific lounges do get quite crowded.

澳航貴賓室最驚人的地方就是佔地非常廣大,很難想像外站貴賓室為什麼可以做到這麼大。滿滿的座位區完全不用怕找不到位置,除了晚間澳航自家航班密集的時候會比較滿一點之外,其他時間的貴賓室都是很空的。

What's most amazing about the Qantas Hong Kong lounge is its size. It's hard to imagine why an outstation lounge can get this much space. The endless seating areas in the lounge also provide an seemingly infinite amount of seats, so the lounge always seems very empty, and only gets slightly crowded in the evening when there's a number of Qantas flights departing around the same time.

貴賓室最深處甚至還有一區兒童區。

There's even a kids area at the far end of the lounge.

大多數旅客都會選擇聚集在酒吧和用餐區的位子,這裡的座位數也很足夠,比較開放的設計也讓空間感覺更開闊。

Most customers would choose to sit at the bar or dining area, which also have plenty of seats for everyone. The semi-open air design also made the place feel even more spacious and airy.

用餐區桌上都會擺一張每日特餐的菜單,可以直接向服務人員點餐。澳航貴賓室的服務一直都非常好,服務人員都很主動且親切地提供各種服務,像是提供各種飲料和續杯等等。雖然是商務貴賓室,但服務相當有頭等貴賓室的水準。

There's a menu placed on each dining table with the lounge's daily special, and the waiters would gladly take your order. I always find service to be consistently great in Qantas Lounges. All the staffs would were proactive and friendly, and would constantly ask for my order, provide refills, etc. Even when this was only a business class lounge, the service was on-par with what I'd usually get in a first class lounge.

除了每日特餐之外,到澳航香港貴賓室也一定要嚐嚐看招牌的叉燒飯,只要到酒吧點餐,或是跟任何服務人員點餐都可以。

In addition to the daily special, another must-try in the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge is their signature BBQ Char-Siu Rice. You could order this at the bar, or with any wait staff in the lounge.

另外在晚餐時段,還會有餐車不定時提供各種開胃小點或是點心。

In the dinner hours, they'd even roll out food carts to provide different kinds of appetizers, snacks, and dessert.

當然除了上面這些食物之外,也是有很豐盛的自助餐點的。在餐食這一塊,澳航貴賓室的表現真的很完美。

Of course, there's also an extensive buffet as well. Qantas never disappoints when it comes to food in their lounges.

這雖然是我第二次搭到港龍航空班機,不過由於上次從高雄飛香港,剛好遇到換成國泰航空代打,所以這其實是我第一次真正搭乘港龍航班。很期待能比較一下國泰和港龍之間的差異。

Although this is officially my second review of a Dragonair flight, it was actually my first real flight with them, as my previous trip from Kaohsiung to Hong Kong was substituted with a Cathay Pacific plane and crew. So I was anxious to see how Dragonair, Cathay Pacific's regional airline, would compare to its parent company.

港龍的商務艙座位和國泰航空區域線商務艙是一模一樣的,就連配色也完全相同。

The business class seats on board Dragonair are identical to the regional business class seats on Cathay Pacific. Even the color scheme is completely the same.

雖然機上娛樂系統名稱從StudioCX改為StudioKA,但其實內容相同。

The name of the IFE is switched from StudioCX to StudioKA, but the contents are the same as well.

耳機除了換成港龍航空的Logo之外,也是同樣的款式。

The same applies to their headphones, which are identical to the ones provided in Cathay Pacific regional business class, aside from the different logos on them.

迎賓飲料有提供港龍特調「芳盛玫瑰」。另外港龍選用的杯子也和國泰有些許不同。

As for welcome drinks, they did offer a Dragonair signature drink "Rose Infinity," and the glassware being used were slightly different as well.

就連廁所備品也和國泰航空商務艙一樣,使用 Jurlique 系列產品。

Amenities in the lavatory were the same as well, all provided by Jurlique.

接著空服員也逐一發送菜單。菜單設計也和國泰航空相同。

Afterwards, the flight attendants came to distribute menus, which carry the same design as Cathay Pacific menus.

但比較特別的是,港龍的餐點有特別和香港尖沙嘴凱悅酒店合作,在航班中提供特別的中式餐點,這是國泰沒有的。

The unique part was that Dragonair had a special collaboration project with the Hyatt Regency in Tsim Sha Tsui to provide special Chinese meals on their flights. This was something Cathay Pacific did not have.

台港線的送餐服務不管哪一家航空都很迅速。起飛之後前菜、甜點、麵包也是用托盤一次送上。

The meal service on Hong Kong-Taipei flights were always done swiftly regardless of airline. My appetizer, dessert, and bread were delivered in one tray soon after take-off.

接著很快地也就送上了主菜,我選擇的是凱悅酒店特製的餐點鼓汁百花鑲鮮冬菇,味道真的相當不錯,比國泰同航線一般的餐好吃很多。

Then the main courses were rolled out soon after. I selected the Hyatt Regency special (Stuffed Mushrooms), which were delicious. They were much superior to what Cathay Pacific offered on the same route.

之前看到不少評論說港龍的服務比國泰來得好,不過可能因為航程短的關係,跟空服員的互動少,並沒有感受出太明顯的差異。除了餐食表現明顯比較好之外,其他部份和國泰可以說是完全一樣的。港龍航空也改名為國泰港龍,和國泰會有更深的整合,或許未來兩邊的差異會越來越少也不一定。

I've read a number of reviews that said service on Dragonair was also much better than Cathay Pacific. But perhaps due to the short flight, I did not have enough interaction with the flight attendants to notice any significant difference. So with the only noticeable advantage in their in-flight meals, Dragonair is pretty much identical to Cathay Pacific. And with their re-branding from Dragonair to Cathay Dragon, with even more integration Cathay Pacific, perhaps the difference in the two airlines would soon be unnoticeable.
