I'd thought the BA lounge was used by Asiana (but maybe by China as well). The Asiana flight operates an hour or so after the CX flight, but only 3 or 4 days a week (seemingly never when I'm traveling).
I'm amazed that JAL has such an unpleasant 1st cl "lounge." For the CX flights, use of the 1st-cl lounge is on the honor system (and often not observed), and the signs requesting no cell phone usage seem to be equally ignored.
Fortunately, the 14 or 15 hours one spends on the plane makes the "lounge" experience bearable enough.

Regarding those Sony NR in 1st, the head FA knew exactly how to unplug them. There is a plastic cover held with velcro that you can remove to get to the actual plug. It is 3 prongs, but if you have your BOSE 2 prong adapter the adapter plugs in only 1 way. And vastly superior to those Sony's. I think they are the AWAI on the ear by the way.
