Hands down...the newly renovated/updated Prestige Lounge at ICN....wow

Maybe you read the title of this thread and thought it said something completely different.

Wasn't very impressed with PVG for J, and what I glimpsed of the F lounge didn't look much better. ICN was one of the better experiences--especially love the Remy Martin (or was it Hennessy?) XO self-service. AMS (KLM) provided a nice way to kill six hours between flights as well.

Outside SkyTeam, I've enjoyed the CX lounge in HKG and especially BA's Arrival lounge in LHR.

I can't think of a domestic lounge (i.e. USA) that approaches the quality of the better international ones. However, the BA lounge in SFO was pretty nice and provided direct boarding to my flight. Never experienced that anywhere else...

Glad to hear about the CX lounge in HKG...flying MIA-JFK-HKG-DPS in CX F in May. :)

JFK Oasis in the top 20 maybe?

The ICN KE J lounge, since it moved, is just not the same (even though at first look it looks very similar). Sure, now it has 5 showers instead of 3 (a +), but, now it has small wobbly round tables vs. the long solid table at the edge (looking out at the window), except the very last portion of it, and the Business Centre. Meaning: there is much less space for one to use a laptop now comfortably, and often all the laptop spaces are full. Also far less electric outlets there now. And still just Korea/EU style electric receptacles there; when they moved one would think they'd put it multi-style electric receptacles (like most hotels have), not forcing one with, say, a US or Japan power plug get out an adapter just to plug in. Really with the move now it has just gotten worse, unfortunately..

And, still as always, the Internet there is dead slow. 28.8K modem speed, at best. Every time I've been there. Before and after the move, it's practically unusable how slow it is. That's a big :td:. Can't get any work done there, unless everything is local on your laptop (good luck trying to get into your corporate VPN or such; heck, even loading up flyertalk.com takes a good 5 minutes; to read one thread with three pages will easily take you 20 min, given ~5 minutes to load up each page of it).

The ICN lounge has a lot of potential, but with super-slow and unreliable Internet and now far less working space and less power outlets, it's gotten even worse. It's only good for a quick stop for the usually rather decent foot, and the showers (now with 5 rarely one has to wait very long).

AF at NRT is quite good, I'm surprised no one mentioned that. Better (non-alcaholic) drink selection than the DL SC there at least. And, at least then can avoid the police at the NRT SkyClub (last time I was there a big section was cordoned off, lots of police interviewing staff and guests there... don't know what happened, but I didn't feel like sticking around and finding out).

THIS

I don't know if I'd call it the best in the system, but the AF Salon at JFK is pretty nice, particularly the food selection around dinnertime.

ICN lounge.

ATL B17.

On a serious pick I would go with ICN (KE) then NRT (DL, only because I never thought to try the others).

Is this even possible? The lounge is really large and the airport has so few flights at any one time, I didn't think it was possible for it to be over packed anymore.

IST ( Instanbul, Turkey) ?
 

Any first hand expereince ?

Does DL has its own OR it's a ST partner lounge ?

No we very plainly were talking about the TK lounge. The lounge that DL uses is the unspectacular Millenium lounge.

From my experience I'd say LHR T4 lounge is excellent followed by ICN. As many have said PVG ST lounge has no redeeming features, much like all the other lounges there whether they're C or F.

I've always liked the waiter service at the lounge in MEX T2 (not sure if you're meant to tip though...)

I think it's Remy Martin, same as OZ F lounge.

The KE Prestige Class Lounge at ICN is also excellent.
