Thumbs up Finally made it to The Wing!

Impressive place. The Cabanas are very cool. Now I'm off to check out The Pier.

Only have an hour, so gotta hurry. I'm taking the moring flight HKG-TPE-NRT, so the Noodle Bar isn't open until 11AM.

My only disappointment vis-a-vis BA's Concorde Room is:

1. Significantly lower quality wine/champagne/spirits, below standard served on the aircraft (With the exception of XO Cognac, but no Chivas Royal Salute and Champagne is Moet, etc.); and

2. No Spa/Massages.

More perspectives later.

The Pier features the Day Break rooms, which I think are a major breakthrough in airline lounge accoutrements, if you have a couple of hours or more to kill. The ability to park yourself and stretch out and even nap, which watching films or listening to music is great.

I understand the food offerings in The Haven Restaurant are pretty nice too, albeit breakfast doesn't do it justice.

Well, off to a couple of nice flights en-route to Tokyo!
