Unless you're OW elite, flying CX in F/J or have some crazy lounge membership that grants you access to the CX lounge, I would say there's nothing redeeming about HKG. It's a ho hum airport by Asian standards (certainly in comparison to SIN!) Getting back to the OP's point, does anyone know if there are contract lounges the OP gains access to with their F ticket that would make their experience more stellar (i.e. is CX The Pier accessible with a LH F ticket?)

LH F ticket does not get access to CX lounges, LX F used to use the Wing but not sure if that’s still the case.
Was told by my F PA that they were directing LH F pax to either TG or SQ lounge.

Allegedly LH/LX are planning their own lounge and are currently in discussions with HKG regarding space / location etc (the local LX/LH team is very well aware of the less than pleasant lounge situation)

A LH lounge would not be a bad idea. Or negotiate a good deal with UA concerning the use of their (planned) Polaris lounge.

Hope something comes of it, of course space wise the old UAGF lounge is empty and unused.

The SQ showers were out of service in August. I'm shocked to hear they still aren't available.

Not surprised at all. Say what you want to say about the onboard service of SQ and how well they treat their PPS elites but their lounges have always been a dump. Be it their outstation at HKG or their SQ Gold lounge at SIN. You would think having a restroom at that SIN lounge isn't too much to ask for! Also SIN* lounges are a big meh. Airport is wonderful but * lines are meh.

SQ's new lounge at BKK is very nice, but no showers...
