Having flown into and out of NKG this week I'd still rate Wuxi a lot higher in terms of functionality.

Flew on another Star carrier but saw the Lufthansa check-in arrangement. Security and immigration look a bit undersized and-staffed for widebodies?

The terminal itself leaves a lot to be desired, the lunch restaurant was crap, seating opportunities poor, lounges smallish etc. But I have to say tax-free was well stocked and the distance from entrance to gate still acceptable.
