If I am just driving, I won't have to park for long :D

You'd really enjoy the QF Lounge at NRT. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows with great views (mostly JL and QF over there, but it's NRT, so you're bound to see a lot of different things moving around).

It's really pathetic that they crammed so many seats into it. I don't know why they didn't just make the whole lounge 25% bigger. The food also is underwhelming, even though it looks at first glance to be really nice. Mediocre beverage selection, as well, save for the espresso machines. The views are its one saving grace: some of the best of any lounge I've ever visited.

The area towards the restrooms with rows and rows of chairs looked like a hospital waiting room rather than a biz lounge.

I agree, I haven't had any problems driving in SFO.

Speaking of. I flew on the plane we took PTY-MEX on PTY-LAX last night (HP-1538CMP). In just those short weeks, they have taken it in for service, and installed CM's new Clase Ejecutiva seats. The new seats are like some weird hybrid of UA's new leather F seats, and the new slimline CO F on the 739ERs. I'll have to get a photo up.

Most annoying thing about the new seats is that the tray-table is now in the seat-back, and it is nearly impossible to eat from (doesn't extend far enough, and it's awkward when the person in front of you reclines).

What do you think of TPR at SIN T3?

I was there when it was only paid F or Suites, so it was very quiet and the service was top notch. The dining room is nice, but the rest of the lounge is nothing special. The showers are nice, but there is no real place to sleep. The staff offered to put to couches together but I went to T2 F lounge instead.

I did not realize they were installing asientos nuevos.
Did you get your telefono executivo back?

Forgot to mention that last night I witnessed a human being of indeterminate sexual assignment walk down the street while berating a cell phone customer service rep. Right as he/she/it walked by my podium, the phrase "dizzy white ho" was uttered. We heard this person screaming at the poor phone rep for a block and a half before reaching the hotel and another block past us.

Exactly. I always grabbed a table facing the windows, or one of the two-top tables with the wooden partitions when I wanted to sleep for awhile. I usually just went to the nearby spa for an hour or so just to get out of the lounge when it got crowded.

I enjoy driving in SFO, as well.

I did not, either. It is obvious that the new seats are designed to reduce weight on the AC. Cushions are softer, but thinner (you could literally lift up the entire seat-bottom cushion, quite easily, and it was only attached by flimsy velcro). Center console between seats is hollow, but there's no storage cutout. As stated, no tray-table in armrests. Seat-bottom tilts upwards at the front slightly, and recline is quite deep (except in Row 4, which I moved from). It has a headrest that slides up/down quite high, but doesn't pan/tilt like UA, and the wings on the side are broader than the old seats (but thinner and flimsier).

ETA - New seats made for 16 in the cabin. Other 738s had 14, IIRC.

I forget what lounge, but there was a nice one in NRT that had nice lamps.

They want to reduce weight so they can do PTY-AKL
