I was just there last week after my flight from China. Four flights all arriving at the same time. In the hour I spent in there, I was one of 4 people that used it...Out of what, 200-ish premium pax?

The shower room was very nice (extra towels upon request), hot and cold food (food is somewhere between the UC and the FCL--they did have smoked salmon). Staff was super friendly and helpful. Seems as if people just don't know about this place...I'd have stayed longer, but wanted to get to the AMEX Lounge (which does have ONE shower stall, but I didn't want to chance it).
GS on any ticket, (Y, C, or F -- revenue or award), arriving from an international destination can access the Arrivals Lounge. 1Ks can access arriving on any C or F international ticket (including upgrades and awards). Guests are never permitted.
