I must admit I'm a little disappointed with the refurbishment, judging by pictures alone. I was expecting a warmer colour scheme, something like the J section of The Wing, just with more spaced apart seating and obviously upgraded food/service/cabanas etc. as with the old F lounge.
The red/black/white combo looks quite cold to me.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit the refurbished lounge in the near future and see for myself.

Well, I grew up in the States so I'm not a "mainlander point-of-view", but ironic you say that, I have the feeling the renovated lounge has too many "mainlander finger prints" in them.

I think any sensible Asian airline in today's market will try their best to cater to mainlanders rather than Americans

I had the pleasure of The Wing last night, for the first time. I must say, I was impressed. My drink was constantly topped up, the food excellent, and the decor stylish. 
By far the coolest part for me, was the private Cabanas. Really awesome. So much I made a video tour the Cabana, for those of you that are sad enough to watch

On two recent 9 am morning flights, there were a line up of 6-8 people for sit down breakfast at the Wing. In the end, grabbed the food and found a seat outside. The lounge is superbusy in the early mornings. Can't remember it being that busy before the renovation.

That is indeed a bit strange especially given the increased capacity. Hopefully things will be better once they finish the renovation of the pier.

Strange? CX F lounge has been overcrowded for awhile now, it's only strange this isn't reported earlier. This will no doubt be common occurence and the norm and not the exception.

IN the past, When I was flying Northwest Airlines to Asia more often, I marveled at tha flights Departing from the East Coast Cities to sort of meet up with the West Coast departures , so they formed sort of group across the Pacific, especially night flights.
what do you call a number of planes flying fairly close together without a formation? A group? A flock?
