ex-HKG Fare paying DM here.

I used the Cabanas on multiple occasions to take Zoom meetings that were scheduled within a short time of my departure, making it impossible to take them before leaving for the airport, in which case I'd get to the airport early enough to get a Cabana and take the calls in privacy. It was super useful and productive.

Granted, this was probably not a common usage case.

Despite the crowd at dining halls this morning, there was no queue for shower room at 7:30am. Says a lot about what kind of people are occupying the shower rooms at Pier F every morning.

But I won't begrudge CX for playing the capacity card at Wing indefinitely - partner elites and partner J/F - send them down to Bridge/Wing.

Perhaps it should for own J pax also, at high gates. At least, "encourage" them not to use the lounges closer to their gates.

What I hope wouldn't happen - but of course couldn't have a say on - is if Pier food and drink gets dumbed down in favour of Wing.

it’s a private bar serving a different list of champagne/wine. A significant step up from the usual list

The F showers (both old Wing F and Pier F) - and in fact, J ones, too - are never full at 9:30pm.

I know this is first world problem but I’m interested in learning how you guys think.

Few days ago, I flied XXX-HKG-LHR(CX251). After a long day in office, I went straight to airport to catch flights. The first leg delayed. It left me only half hour before boarding when I arrived in Pier First. I was desperate having a shower but the shower room untie told me there were 8 people waiting ahead of me. I don’t mind waiting at all as long as I got time but this wasn’t the day. I turned to the front desk, showing my BP for help.( I don’t play DYKWIA usually but this was difficult situation to me) Then her supervisor checked with the untie, came back and kept telling me everyone was waiting and implied I should do the same. Being a DM member and flying First class passenger, I was extremely disappointed that I didn’t have any priority on this. Luckily a kind gentleman waiting beside me ( he was the first one on the waiting list) offered his priority to me. I appreciated it very much but this was nothing to do with CX.

Anyway, how do you guys think? Do you think F passengers or DM should have priority using the shower room? Or everyone is equal to wait in line ? Please share your thoughts.

When's the last time you've used a shower at that time? Mine (in Pier F) was a week ago; and then the Deck just on Sunday.

Other than better alcohol, anything else there that is over and above what is available in the F lounge?

Also interested to know this. Can you eat in it? Will be there next week.

I saw in another post somewhere that it's only for drinks.. For dining, there is a curtained off area behind the main dining area that is reserved for DM+ and F passenger only.
