"Hong Kong is one of the most diverse destinations in the world, with something to do for everyone. If you're a culture vulture, a shopper or you just want to relax by a luxury pool, Hong Kong has all these things!
"A must-see whilst visiting is Victoria Peaks, where you can relax drinking a chilled glass of wine whilst looking down over the whole city. A short boat ride away (or Ngong Ping cable car for the more daring) is Langtau island, where you can take the kids to Disneyland or visit the Ngong Ping village with the awe inspiring Giant Buddha statue.
"A final must to do in Hong Kong is the evening harbour cruise followed by dinner at Felix, which is the restaurant on the top floor of the Peninsular Hotel. Dinner here speaks for itself!"
Airport lounges before a Hong Kong holiday
Enjoy some peace and quiet before your flight to Hong Kong
We could write about how great our airport lounges are. We could extol the virtues of spending up to three hours relaxing in peace and quiet before your flight, but instead we'll let you, the customer, do the talking.
The Aviance Lounge at Gatwick was fab, what a lovely way to start your holiday. It was really quiet and peaceful and not at all overcrowded with a good choice of drinks and snacks. I would definitely recommend it!

A most relaxing start to our holiday. Avoid the hustle of departure lounges and book the Aviance Executive lounge through Holiday Extras at Luton!

I would recommend the lounge to everyone including those with children, it was a great start to our holidays very relaxing.

A lovely, pleasant environment to wait in for your flight. Saves fighting for a seat in the airport itself, well worth every penny.
