983. The ground service was nothing special. Standard check in, train to international section of t3, customs/security (didn't see any first class security line although it was only about a 5 min wait). I had a few hours in the lounge as I had to check out of the hotel. It was a huge lounge, plenty of space to spread out. The FC section was not connected to the J section, the food in the lounge was decent. Wifi, obviously. No showers that I could see. Also no bar that I could see but I didn't look everywhere. They did have a mini movie theater type area but it looked to be chinese only and some sleeping areas that I should have tried.
I threw my back out so I'm going to be resting in bed, but I'll try to get the rest of the TR together tonight or tomorrow if I'm feeling better.
