And the F lounge falls even further below F standards, constituting just a modest-sized room. Neither has much in terms of food offerings.
Having said that, it's somewhat understandable that it's no great shakes, given both airlines' limited use of it for a total of only a few (four?) flights per day. And the one upside is that sometimes you can board directly from the lounge.
But then the Great USP for this Lounge is the Direct Access to Aircraft Jetway, Beats T5-CCR through The Hoards and Gate A10 Buses at LHR and even to a lesser extent the Journey from QF-SYD First via Additional Security to the Aircraft. But then I dont rate HKG-The Pier First other than The Cabanas, The food Self Service is very average IMHO.
