Getting back to the key point, the Wing in particualr gets very busy later in the evening - right at the time when the 3 BA flights go out, along with what QF are sending down under. There is simply no way the existing CX facilities could cope. Now, if you suggested turning the Hong Kong Lounge in to one big CX F lounge, that could be fun.

And they are both better than the cave that passes for SQ's lounges.
