Hi,

EK started flying from TPE yesterday, as announced. There was an inauguration party at the Grand Hyatt yesterday (pics on EK´s FB page).

A lot of check-in counters were open, no waiting for C, F and status customers at all.
EK said they are going to open their own loungs, but so far use China Airlines lounge. Even their F part is not worth mentioning and no way up to EK standards. Location could be better.
If you like to drink good wine (late evening departure), remember to shop a bottle in the duty free first. Besides snacks, all food is Taiwanese. Anyway, seating is plenty and WiFi available.

Besides, I am still very happy EK picked this destinations, and I sure the lounge issue will be resolved soon.
