CX845 arrival strategy

Didn’t find a wiki for this flight, but plenty of threads asking about it.

JFKHKG 0515 arrival, connecting to 1010 departure to DPS.

Pier and Wing both open at 0530. My preference is to sleep (favouring Wing, if I’m not mistaken), shower (either) then massage (Pier) then imbibe (either).

Question regards the Pier massage. Do I need to shlep all the way there to put my name down for, say, an 0845 treatment, or could I go to the Wing and ask them to call and put me down? Furthermore, can one even request a treatment for a later time at the Pier, or are you at CX’s mercy (I.e. must take it at 0530 or take your chances later - at which time they’ll be booked based on my last 6 visits)?

If anyone has a better strategy for early am arrival +5 hr layover, I’m all ears.

Jamie
