CX J Pier better than F? Interesting.

I’ve given them both 10 out of 10 for the respective lounge classes.

Cathay Pacific aside, why is HKG so good for OW and so lousy for *A lounges?

OW hub - Cathy.

Star Alliance transits mainly via SIN

Yet, SIN is probably close to 2nd* for OW lounge hopping after HKG? Alas, CX was relegated to the cheap seats in SIN but still plenty to choose from.

*thinking quality not just quantity.

Hi all it was great to catch up with you all. It has been awhile. Safe flying one and all.

On board QF30 now.

Look forward to more crawls

The team SYD is about to push back.

Same crew on QF30 as I had arriving yesterday on QF29. They were great on the flight up from MEL, so hopefully that means we’re in good hands for the return trip.

Really enjoyable afternoon/evening meeting and greeting with those AFF’ers in attendance, especially as a first time Asia Lounge Crawl attendee. Lots of laughs along with plenty of good food + drink!

Will post some pics when we hit MEL as the flight is preparing to push back.

When Chuck Norris shaves, the razor blades get cut.

changed to F tomorrow morning

Well done, Ross; the issue is you could get used to it! Any pics?

I presume that was not a regional aircraft?

Mate, no row one for you?

Safe travels all.

Prescient commentary.

You can ask the same question in relation to Singapore - Qatar and Qantas F clean up, IMHO.

Had a lovely flight from HKG to SIN, now nearly time to board my next flight to AKL. SQ J lounge is as good as it ever was. Had a nice 3.5 hour ride where I finally finished a very long book. Service lovely as always as was the food, BTC chicken and abalone rice after a relatively healthy Nicoise salad.

Hope you all have a safe trip wherever it is. Enjoy Mongolia.

Being from where I am from, "shaving" for me constitutes three plucks of the tweezers.

Currently ensconced in the QF SYD J lounge with @Ansett . Managed to get put on an earlier flight to HBA

SYD immigration was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Queues at every ticket machine 15-odd deep, then same at the kiosks. I went through ticketless, which was new for me.
