The Wing First Class Lounge opening date??
 

Any ideas on when The Wing - First Class Lounge will open? I know it was slated for December, but I have not heard or seen any movement in this area for a few months..

Thanks..

porb before CNY

Yeah, heard it will be open in late jan/early feb just before CNY.

Thank you. Guess I will look forward to it on a future trip.

There is something about the layout of the new Wing that makes it look like a refugee camp when it's full (which is more often than not these days). When you come out at the top of the stairs and turn left, and you see everyone sprawled out, it's an unsightly mess. The old Wing never had this untidy look when it was full. Bad decisions by the design team to make it more open or something I can't quite put my finger on.

U talking about the j class section?

Yes.

have you actually been to a refugee camp??!

Okay - maybe an insensitive comparison, but you get my point.

I was told by Linda Sim Head of Marco Polo it will be more likely April next year. They can only work for about 3.5 hrs a night when the airport is closed. Its way behind schedule.

you mean when the lounge is closed ?.
The airport remains open 24 hours
If they added more budget to the project as a variation they could have more workers and finish earlier.

I was in the lounge this past Tuesday December 4. An agent said the 1st class section might be completed in March. They can only work when the lounge in closed, a very limited # of hours.

considering theyre running a loss at present i doubt they could get the funds

I agree with you. Looks like a mess when crowded.

Absolutely rubbish information. I am sitting next to it right now and they are hammering away and sounds like a full crew running working away, like they always have when I sit at the Wing J lounge close to the future F section. Just to be sure I went to the counter and asked, and they said the internal memo is they are aiming for it to open before Chinese New Year, but they are running behind on some unforeseen issues during construction.

Guess you didn't 'walk' at the end :D

Not on my bad feet, can't walk too long.

I was sat in the very same lounge as Linda Sims office is actually part of the lounge and we went to get a coffee. This was around Nov 9. They have obviously started to get on with the job now then. For you to say absolute rubbish is implying I am telling lies. Were you in the meeting ? NO,so unless you have clear facts to be back some of the very wooley statements you seem so good at making on here, such as how so many people kill each other in Taiwan over politics, then I suggest you stick to facts.

When I read it, I felt that Cathay Boy's comment was directed towards the information from MPC, but not towards you.

However, I would like to suggest that posters should be careful on clauses that can be misconstrued.
