- games room
- showers
- 1hr stroll through the shopping area
- no risk for delays
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. CAlex above captures my basic thinking. Also there may be some interesting people-watching in this high-end venue.
Unfortunately my circumstances changed and now it makes much more practical sense to fly either ANA or Asiana (I thought I was starting in Houston where QR flies, but now it looks like SFO will be the starting point; my final destination is BKK, thus it makes much more sense to go over the Pacific...
...unless someone convinces me that QR business is so much better than ANA or Asiana that it is still worth the longer trip and I simply MUST try it?!
I'm actually tempted, but my wife may not appreciate the whole trip taking 30+ hours.
