Cathay Pacific CX543: Tokyo Haneda to Hong Kong in Economy

This trip report follows Cathay Pacific CX543 from Tokyo Haneda to Hong Kong, a route and airline that have become a familiar part of my travel over the years. Flown in economy in January 2026, the journey included an early-morning Haneda Terminal 3 routine, a quick stop at the JAL Sakura Lounge, a first visit to the Centurion Lounge, time at my favorite lounge in the terminal, Cathay Pacific’s own lounge, and then a straightforward five-hour flight to Hong Kong.
