NICE !!! Amaroo whats in the glass on the plate next to the champers ?

Embarrassed to confirm I can't recall ... it was very tasty! Even my brains trust can't remember.

I'm blaming the continuous flow of Krug

We are booked on CX260 CDG-HKG in June, only in J mind you, but it looks like a good service.

The midday departure is very civilised and perfect for an F flight. Early morning arrival into HKG is also good if you're doing a stopover.

Not so good if you're connecting to a BNE flight. Lucky there's the new Pier First lounge that needed testing

Good to know as we are having a stopover on the way back - 3 nights.

 

[amaroo]

Yeah, I liked that..

Cooked to perfection







Bedtime - I had the FA make my bed, and settled in for a solid 7 hour sleep.



Welcome to HKG

 

[amaroo]

I didn't bother with breakfast on board ... I was saving myself for the lounge.

CX Pier F lounge - what a beauty!

Nice views

 

[amaroo]

We did it all - massage, day suite, bar, restaurant, the job lot.











This lounge has jumped to the top of the OW list - clear winner IMO.

CX157 HKG-BNE J

The last flight. After 5 hours in the lounge I didn't manage to take many photos

Good flight - dreadful arrival time.



That's it for this TR - was a wonderful trip. We had the best time!

Next TR will commence in May - see here for a hint on the destination

Ditto to drron's comment Amaroo. A fantastic TR with great photos and all!

I need a holiday to get over amaroo's holiday. Great TR but then its what he does.

The HK lounge is rather sweet, isn't it.
