Boarding was fine, although I noticed that they boarded all pax at the same time, just through different lines (perhaps this was because the flight was a bit late).
I think you were on the same flight as I was (albeit I was in C in the mini-cabin just behind F). Did you notice a huge backup of people at the escalator down to emigration and the E gates? I guess that's what you get when you have so many intercontinental flights departing at around the same time.

Also, when I arrived at the gate the boarding bridge to the F cabin had already been retracted, and boarding was being done without any regard to elite status or class of service, with no separate priority boarding lane or separate call for business/elite passengers. I had to practically wave my passport in front of the ground staffer's face and say "Business Class!" before I got anywhere.
