Departing from HKG in C - which is the best *A lounge to use (I have *G)?

Departing from NRT in F - which is the best *A/F lounge to use?

(I'm in HKG now actually, so if no quick replies will pick one at random ...)

You have a choice of the UA F lounge or the ANA F lounge. Here's a thread comparing the two.

Well, in the end I decied that I had enough time to try all 3 C/*A lounge choices in HKG (only 15mins in each though).


SQ lounge nr gate 15 straight after security/immigration checks - in spite of the threads above, I actually liked this the most. But - it is a long time (via the train ride) from this lounge to the gates for many other *A flights. No external light, but comfy chairs, good drinks & food. Bigger than the other two.


TG lounge nr gate 60 (upstairs) - again, contrary to the threads above, I decied this is the lounge I would least like to spend time in. Food & drinks were ok, plenty of daylight, but I thought it was small/cramped (I may have just hit a busy time) and not much special.


UA RCC nr gate 60 (upstairs) - similar style to the TG lounge but a little bigger, so less cramped. Poor food choices but drinks good. In future, I would probably choose to spend the most time here. Not massively different to RCC's in USA though.


I'll try to do the same for the two F lounge choices at NRT next week. (I already did the NH C lounge @ NRT which easily beats the 3 HKG ones above, so the F lounges should be good).

There are actually 2 NH F lounges at NRT, so you can try all 3 if you really want to.

I was at UA RCC HKG several hours ago. I thought their food was quite nice. I had fried rice, grilled pork, stir-fried vegetables, and seafood soup. The fried rice didn't taste that good, but I liked everything else. The only disappointment was they did not have noodles bar there, although they had a variety of instant noodles. The lounge is spacious and have free wifi. I think most UA flight depart from gate 61, which is just a couple of min walk from the lounge.

Huh?

TG= Star Alliance

CX= OneWorld.

How would you gain entry to The Wing or The Pier without actually flying on OneWorld?

Unless there's some bizarre agreement between TG and CX... (but, why would there be? Star has at least one F lounge there, UA's IFL.)

TG has their own lounge in HKG, and there are two other *A lounges there.
No way you'll get into the Wing or the Pier.

Thanks for the teaching. I was confused by other posting but maybe the acces was connected to a FF Membership through CX.

Anyway. Which is the best/nicest F lounge in HKG you can recommend?
