Thanks for reading! I'm definitely hopeful given what I've seen so far personally, but my expectations naturally aren't as high as they are for LH F

Thanks for following along! I suppose it's a direct translation since the Chinese side of the menu did read 《狮子头》. My seat mate was definitely surprised to read the dish's name on the menu.

Welcome to FT! I suppose the UA forum would be a little more useful for a baseline for the old product since there have been a fair number of comparisons written (unless you have experience with it). I would say it's a good start for sure.

I haven't had the chance to use the international lounge (though I suppose I'll get there towards the end of the TR), but I liked the satellite lounge much better than the domestic lounge in T3C since it's a lot quieter, a lot less crowded, and most of the amenities are the same. The one thing about the satellite lounge is that the chairs are placed a lot closer together than in the T3C lounge, but that's the only thing I can think of.
