Finally, they're willing to invest a bit more in their lounges. The ones at PEK and CTU are set to open this Spring, so it's quite a tight deadline. Anybody notice anything under construction at these two airports?
...but there's no mention about the opening dates for the two other 'new' lounges at PVG/SHA (?) and CKG.

Was just at PEK and noticed nothing, just the Business/STARGold and First ones on either side of the central area of T3. Used the Business/STARGold on a CA C ticket. (Could I have used the F lounge? Seems CA hardly has many F international flights left...I was doing PEK-SYD and our 777 seemed to use the old F seats instead of the new C seats advertised. No complaints about the service so not sure what the difference would have been between F and C under the circumstances (other than a sleep suit?). Seems CA uses F and C interchangeably for its domestic flights though.
We could certainly use a different lounge at PEK for STAR carriers out of T2. The Shanghai Airlines lounge has to be one of the worst in the world!

No *A carriers fly out of T2 anymore.

The catering does need improvement as does the alcohol selection. The best part is the the view of the architecture of the airport from the elevated view point the lounge has. With a little larger space, it would be a pleasant space to spend a few hours.
