Sure, but why stay in an airport more than you have to when there's a ton of good food out there?

HKG surely has nice lounges, but give me a choice between dim sum in the UA/TG/SQ/CX lounges and Tim Ho Wan, I think I pick Tim Ho Wan (have actually tried dim sum breakfast both ways). And I live somewhere where great cocktails are easy to come by.

Granted, Dom and caviar have snob appeal, to be sure, and I like the LH FCL/FCT myself, but in the end the food and drink you get in the F cabin can be replicated better on the ground, and lounges rarely have truly outstanding food.
