Don't worry, it's going to get even more crowded in 2 months. I suspect what the OP mentions is an easy computer fix (or a someone online making things up)....I think a more legitimate concern is the 100+ lounge pax who will join the CX lounge system starting in June with the new AA flight HKG-DFW, particularly on the F side. Midday is going to be a zoo around that departure time in the F lounge. AA's 777-300ERs have what, 310 pax? 8 F, 52 J I think and the rest Y. It seems to me like everyone who flies AA is "elite", so I suspect we'll have a lot of extra lounge guests in addition to the premium pax.

The F side will probably bear the brunt given the extreme quantities of AA EXPs, and the limited F space at HKIA. I wouldn't be surprised if the F Wing gets 40+ new guests midday when the new DFW departure launches. 8 F seats, and 30+ AA EXPs seated in J and Y. Hopefully the Pier F can come online soon.
