sitting in HND lounge now and i feel this is better than Wing or Bridge thatvus often overcrowded like chinese train station... anyways the food selection is superb. they even have french toast. the cold bar area has about 10 selection staffed by someone and their apple pie looks tops. you can evem have ice cream.
it reminds me of bangkok lounge i recently beem except it is about 5x more refined. basically their new design breaks lounge down to 3 main areas.
1. the noodle bar to left of entry
2. cold salad/food standup area with long bar tables behind entry
3. lounge area with a proper bar staffed with bartender you can have bubble or latte etc. this to the right side.
what makes this lounge so special is is probably on highest part of HND onky aftermarket control tower. located on 6th floor you have 180 degre view with runways right in front. its also close to departure gates.
i like this more than JAL business lounge. it also lacks the type of DYKFIA japanese middle aged salaryman here (i am japanese so i am entitled to such conment lol)

Can someone let us know who runs CX's New Bangkok Lounge?
The reason for my question is that Hotel Okura is running the new CX HND Lounge and they did a pretty good job of running the lounge. I remember seeing the logo of Hotel Okura on the menu of the noodle bar.
Let's hope for Hotel Okura to take over the management of the 3 lounges in HKG that are currently run by the Peninsula Group, but I guess the chance is extremely low or almost impossible.

About a year ago HND CX lounge had some private Okura labeled sparkling wine, I believe it was French. Not champagne. I didn't try, went for the draft beer instead. I agree, it's surprising. Made a mental note to just use the JAL F lounge in future.

I have always been using JAL F lounge at HND. The lounge is much nicer than CX one in my opinion. Nearly always empty every time I was there (at max 5-10 other pax and FYI I've always taken the CX549 late afternoon departure flight or JL night flight to US). F&B selection is far superior than CX. There are several rooms within the Red Suite where I can really hide myself away from the crowd to work quietly or just relax with a few drinks. CX lounge is nice but far too busy.

Yes since jacobsleather is also a DM who has access to JAL F so what's wrong with my comment comparing JAL F and CX J lounge? On the other hand, if you think home turf F lounge is always nicer than J lounge, I bet to differ. I personally prefer QF J lounge in HK than The Wing F any time for example.
