I never visited Pier F when there was a line for dining. I did not pay much attention to the host, but there was always someone greeting me when I entered. I suppose he/she would take my name if all tables were taken.

I don't think they will ask the guests if they can share tables. At least I was never asked.

Seems odd and rude that if all the tables are taken and there is a line of people waiting, and someone is done eating and is sitting at a table working or on their computer, that the host wouldn't ask them to leave so as to open a table for the waiting guests.

If this were to happen is there anywhere else to order and eat breakfast? I have never been to the Wing before and don't know the layout. Could you order your breakfast and carry it to the champagne bar or to somewhere else to sit and eat?

I just wish there was a big flat communal table area that was a multi-purpose work/eat/etc. area. Lots of power outlets and you could do whatever you want with that space.

Probably a good idea to try to grab a cabana if you want power sockets and total privacy to work.

A lot of F pasengers seem to be solo and tend to like their own space so a communal table probably wouldn't appeal to them.

since i opened this topic i was there at least ten times at different times. never a cabana was available right away, and about never was it fully clean when i got it. especially the toilets would deserve more care. but of course, still better than a lot of other lounges of home carriers.

Probably because someone who is flying first or has the status to use a first class lounge will tend to go for that rather than something lower down the scale of things.

I'm always puzzled that designers even in relatively new lounges haven't realized that these days, you should have plugs readily accessible from just about anywhere people might be sitting.

I find it really strange that if u hate it so much why did you still go there for 10 times? Prob best to avoid and try out other lounges?

that is indeed the question. is there any place which would be better in HK than CX wing, including places to pay for -- like a pay-in lounge after security -- with bath-tubs, good food and wine, wifi etc? i am using HKIA since it opened and did not come across such a place.
