HKG lounge crawl 8 June 2014

[Awesom Andy]

Can't I just ring the P1 team and make it happen, the website intimates that they are there for P1 needs

It would be interesting to see what happens, at least. Not sure if 12 seats are enough though? In between the dining (round table) and the roast sections, there is a rectangular table fitting 14 (or possibly at least a couple more if we bring in a few more seats).

EDIT: I don't think there are proper meeting rooms as such in the HKG lounge, so I guess we could play along that line so we can have a "meeting"

Knock your self out - in a good way, that is.

Might be not tonight though... it's not exactly a usual request, and they might think that we are scheming on something! :shock:

Like evaluating all the other schemes (pun intended!) that are better than QF?

 

[Aeolus]

My plans are finally firming up. Have updated the spreadsheet. Please count me in for dinner on the 7th.

This should act as a nice finishing point for the crawl, and I'm wondering if I should check with the lounge staff if we can book out the round dinner table for our use.

You could say we are coming in for 1 day for a special meeting to prepare for the nights of the round table.

Since I'll be in the US when this is on but will be returning via HKG later in the month, I'd be interested in a critique of the lounges visited and perhaps an order of preference if possible. This sounds like a great opportunity for an up-to-date comparison by AFFers and then I could just go and visit the top ones

Here's a list in order of preference from my own home-port experience

1. The Wing F
2. The Bridge
3. QF
3. The Wing J
4. The Pier J
5. The Cabin
6. The Arrival
7. G16

(The Pier F reopens in 2015 and will likely go to the top of the list then )

I thought as much. Usually go to The Wing. Haven't been to the new QF lounge so was wondering how it stacked up.
Thanks

Hmm, do we need coffee-card style cards to stamp at each lounge?

Is the QF lounge a joint J/F lounge or does it have separate sessions?

No F. New lounge along the same lines as the Qantas SIN lounge.

Still has reasonable food though, e.g. better than a standard QF Int J lounge?

I've been out of this thread for a bit. Is the spreadsheet holding up ok? Or did someone make up something better than my effort?

I'm feeling decidedly anti-social at the moment. Hopefully, that'll change in the next few weeks. But I think I said I was on for yum cha, might be better to make me gold for that.

 

[Awesom Andy]

It has specific dinning tables reserved for F, CL, and WP1 pax, but that's about it.

That would depend on individual tastes.

You will do just fine. I am undecided until I see it.

Considering I'm used to BA J / F lounges, I don't think it'll be hard to surpass what I'm used to

But you have the BEST lounge dragons in the world!

Has someone taken seat 32B on QF128 on 8 June?

Has someone taken seat 32B on QF128 on 8 June?

Both 32A/B are occupied. 32J is available, however, if it's adequate substitution.
