The Hotel arranged take away breakfast this morning. Very nice.

I took a cab from the Ritz Carlton to CTU. Have a domestic flight and wanted to leave adequate time to make flight. From the Hotel to T2 it was less than 30 minutes early morning. The flag drop was 71 RMB and there looked to be a toll of 7 RMB. Gave the driver 100. At terminal T2 the stands for Air China are at the very far end. First Class / Business Class is at the very start to the left. Check-in was very efficient and as nice as SQ or TG international First. If you are in First and yes in my case domestic you can use the First Class / handicap lane which is just in front as you exit the First Class check-in area. *G can also use this check-in area but not clear if they can use "Fast Track".

The security process was very quick and efficient. I was easily able to take on the roller bag and small side bag came over on Air China in First. As a precaution I kept on the cabin bag tag affixed earlier.

Once clearing security the Air China lounges are to the right up the elevator to level 4. The Gold lounge is to the left and First Class to the right. The First Class lounge is JUST AS NICE as any SQ or TG lounge domestic or international. I am pleasantly surprised. Upon entry your ticket will be checked. You will also be issued a slip of paper with a number on it to access wifi. Darn nice lounge!
