Thanks everyone! Ended up paying the Hilton a brief visit for lunch. The lobby bar was unfortunately closed at that early hour. I took the bus; I dont think I'd recommend that walk .

Cheers.

A 50 ft walk in less than 10 sqm is a secret?

rotfl... comments like that give high expectations to people who haven't experienced the lounge.

I'd be more inclined to suggest killing time in the CA lounge for a couple of hours if the wi-fi worked worth a d@mn. For now, I never feel too cheated if I arrive airside just in time for boarding, thereby missing the lounge.

Apart from KRR (which is landside), T3 seriously sucks. While T2 isn't all that great either, it's the better of 2 evils.

Ha. If you're there more than 30 minutes, you inevitably take a walk to see what else there is ("there must be more!") , and then stumble across the "hidden" bar.
