If possible, I always prefer a shower before my flight and the facilities here simply provide a more civilized experience and, IMHO, how facilities for this purpose ought to be.
Finally, if I recall, the menu at the Pier restaurant has more items than the Wing's, and I just find the dining room here more comfortable. In short, I'm probably more comfortable in the Pier lounges than I am any other, maybe except for the LAS Centurion Lounge.
That's how I fly CX as well. I prefer the red eye from the west coast as well as from HKG. Can't wait to return to HK!
