It seems that CX has quietly opened the new Narita Lounge.

Can anyone post photos and tell us of their experience of using it? Many thanks!

Will be there next Monday. Will let you know soon.

Isn’t that the location of the former AA lounge? Wow!

Really? Can someone else confirm?

It's not studioilsed. Hahhahaha. Why would I have expected for this ugly duckling port to begin with.

It's basically just the Admirals Club - same furniture same decor - but rebranded to CX lounge.

At least better food? Will there be a noodle bar?

What will happen to the former CX lounge then?

as far as we were told at last Christmas reception, No but curry and Sushi like everyone else does.

Thing about the noodle bar is that other lounges can't seem to replicate the Dan Dan noodles the way it's prepared at the Pier. While I certainly haven't been to all of CX's lounges, the ones I've tried, at least to my palates, were very poor replicas of the noodles prepared in CX's HKG lounges. I was initially quite surprised at how poor they were in the SFO lounge, where one would think if there's a locality that could replicate it, it'd be SF.

Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the Dan Dan even in HKG. I've since had it in YVR and LHR. Tastes about the same and are alright to me. I've been to all the CX J lounges in HKG pre-COVID. I'm now an Emerald and intend to visit the CX F lounges in HK later this year.

While this seems like another lifetime ago, I prefer late flights when returning to the States, usually departing at around midnight. During those nights when I don't have any dinner obligations during the evening of departure, I prefer to relax in the Pier F's day suites, and appreciate the privacy and window views of the planes. 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!

That's coming, but all in good time...

It is, CX moved into the old AA lounge partly with an Ilse Crawford make-over in mind.

Paid a visit today, prior to MH89 to KUL. I was the only person in the lounge. Large, good views of the apron, decent food and drink choices.
