I love the F Wing for the reasons stated above. It is open and I like that feeling rather than being stuffed away in some windowless room that a lot of lounges are. Not been to the pier so my comment might be irrelevant to this particular lounge.

The waiters are always attentive and helpful. The shops are also close by if you need to pass some time or pick up a gift or two.

As for walks - when you are sitting down for hours on end, I like the walk. I always time it though to ensure there is plenty to get there before departure though.
