Hong Kong Airlines “We Serve with Heart”

Enhancing Passenger Experience in the Air and on the Ground

HONG KONG, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As one of the leading local carriers, Hong Kong Airlines is set to elevate passenger’s travel experience with a comprehensive suite of service upgrades spanning baggage policy, inflight dining, online check-in, airport lounge facilities and some unique products. The enhancements reaffirm the airline’s commitment to blending international standards with authentic Hong Kong character, offering passengers greater value across every touchpoint of their journey.

Mr YAN Bo, Chairman of Hong Kong Airlines said, “At Hong Kong Airlines, our commitment to ‘Serve with Heart’ represents a pivotal step in our mission to redefine full-service travel through authentic Hong Kong hospitality.  By infusing local cultural elements into every journey touchpoint – from Michelin Cantonese cuisine to beloved local street food – we are transforming our city’s unique charm into a globally recognised signature. 

The whole service upgrade programme synergises perfectly with our network expansion, including key long-haul routes to Vancouver and Sydney, propelling our transition from a regional hub carrier to a global full-service airline. Supported by the three-runway system’s increased capacity and our global lounge partnership with Plaza Premium Group, we are strengthening our role as an aviation bridge that connects China with the world while delivering exceptional point-to-point and transit flight experiences.”

1.     Baggage Policy Redefined

Hong Kong Airlines is pleased to announce that with immediate effect, a new baggage policy will be implemented for flights departing on or after May 7, allowing every passenger to enjoy worry-free checked baggage service.

2.     Elevated Inflight Experience

Hong Kong Airlines has designed a comprehensive inflight dining programme which features the “Taste of Hong Kong” and destination-inspired cuisine across all routes, covering Business Class and Economy Class.

Business Class passengers will be treated with our three exclusive signature Cantonese dishes, created in collaboration with Michelin restaurant Ming Court, along with a selection of Chinese, Western, and vegetarian menus which updated seasonally, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and light snacks.

For examples:

Meal Upgrade for Economy First

Passengers who choose the front-row seats in economy class of selected routes will enjoy not only more generous legroom and priority boarding/deplaning privileges, but also upgraded meal service — making every journey more comfortable.

3.        Upgraded VIP Lounge Experience

Hong Kong Airlines has implemented a significant enhancement programme at its “Club Autus” lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, marking the commencement of a strategic alliance with Plaza Premium Group, the world’s leader in airport lounge service, to deliver a world-class airport hospitality experience that combines international standards with authentic Hong Kong culture.  

Hong Kong Airlines not only provides the upgraded premium lounge service for existing Business Class passengers and Platinum and Gold members of its loyalty programme, Fortune Wings Club, but also extends the access privilege to members of the Enjoyment Programme in Economy Class and other eligible travellers, including invited intercontinental transit passengers on Hong Kong Airlines-operated flights and qualified corporate clients. 

Distinguished guests using the lounge service can enjoy the freshly prepared local delicacies, including Hong Kong favourites such as Egg Waffles in Original Flavour, Wonton Noodles, and Shredded Chicken Noodle Soup with Pickled Vegetable.

Welcome Drinks by Leo Ko, Champion Bartender

Crafted by champion bartender Leo Ko, guests in Club Autus are treated with an exclusive collection of welcome drinks, namely Victoria Fizz, Oriental Iced Tea, Summer.com and Southern Beauty.
