Best F Lounge?

[ermen]

Any thoughts on what the best F lounge is globally?
Unfortunately I have only been into the QF F Lounge in Sydney though I thought that to be really good!

oneworld? Star Alliance? Sky Team?

Not sure about the best F Lounge (SYD QF F Lounge is nice) but the whole experience at the F Terminal in FRA is supposed to be something out of this world.

Anyone I guess? Just wanted to see what people thought of the QF F lounge in Syd versus others...

In my opinion SYD/MEL & LHR T5 rate equally for OW 1st. I cant comment on BA Concord in T5 however.

A close 2nd would be HKG... after that - ho hum

OW FRA - it's a shared cough hole between CX BA QF and any other OW carrier. LH *A lounge is supposed to be very good however

What about EK and QR's flagship terminals / lounges? Heard they're supposed to be a bit of OK.

Also, have heard people raving about the VS Clubhouse.

In my (limited) experience, I've been quite fond of MEL F and HKG The Wing F; also quite liked KUL F, and look forward to it becoming available to QFF WPs (hopefully sooner rather than later if AJ makes good on the one positive aspect of his speech and cements codesharing into Asia in August).

I would have to say that the Qantas lounge is the best, I have been in to the concord lounge in London T5 but the spa is not as good as Qantas,but there cabanas are great if you can get in to one. the Cathay lounges are good if you want a bath and a place to put your feet up and have. A nap, I have tried a number of the US lounges but there not anywhere close to the Asian ones have yet to try the Singapore airlines one next trip

Which HKG F Lounge? The one in the Wing or Pier? I'm heading there next month and would like to hear your experiences/recommendation.

I'm thoroughly in the make-over camp with regard to the Wing.

I actually preferred the Pier.

I made these comments about a year ago and don't think my views have changed too much:

Recently experienced F lounge at Singapore T1 and was disappointed-noisy, crowded, so-so food. MEL F lounge is way ahead

According to Skytrax latest ratings QF 1st comes in 4th place...Ive visited QF F SYD and BA F T5, QF SYD gets my vote.

Interesting about TG BKK, haven't been there for a while though. Any views on the high ranking?Is this a world cup soccer run thing?

Out of the ones I've been to (And I mainly only visit OW lounges, so haven't been to some of the best!), I would rank them:

QF SYD/MEL F <ranked equal, although SYD is slightly better>
CX HKG F <Wing IMHO is nicer than the Pier. Not sure after their renovations though>
JL NRT F
BA T5 F <T3 isn't too bad either, haven't been to Concorde room>.

simongr started a very similar, useful thread to this fairly recently ( in past 6/12) Perhaps the mods can merge ?

I thought the SYD F lounge used to be very good, but am finding the food slipping a little bit now. Don't get me wrong, it's still lovely, but portions and use of ingredients used to be so much more

it's still probably the best I have been to though. The Wing and Pier are nice too, especially the noodle bar and long bar.

YQY the lounges in HK are both good I like the wing it's the one with the bath and cabanas

For those who haven't seen inside CX's The Wing (First Class) Cabanas...

Above - The Wing (after the entry)

Below - Relax & Refresh in a private Cabana


Although, as noted, soon to be completely revamped!

Loved the cabanas more when they had water above the pebbles...
