[NRT] NH - ANA Lounge (First Class)

[SQ LPP]

So which Lounge should one use when flying F class on SQ11/12 in NRT? The 60/70 minute layover does not exactly allow lots of time...

(or should I rephrase the question to: "Which one serves Fauchon ice cream?"_

Last week, SQ11 used Gate 41 and SQ12 used Gated 46. Thus, the most convenience lounge to go to is the NH F Lounge at Satellite 4, from which almost all the pictures in this thread were taken. A quick security check, a short walk, and a chance to take shower. I had a chance to check e-mail and this site, as well as having coffee and snacks.
An announcement is made in this lounge when the time for boarding SQ 11 or 12 comes. A short walk back to the gate. And the boarding process about half way through, but premium lane would be very short.

Do we have to ask for this kit or is it available in the shower room?

I prefer the older kit.

Had to ask for them.

From my two visits last weeks, the kits were given automatically. The lounge staff took one from her storage underneath the desk. And she handed the kits and the number when we got in front of the assigned shower room.

During the several times I was there last year (and last month), the L'Occitane kits were already in the basket in the shower rooms.

Wow, I've never seen that before. Perhaps they only do that for special people.

Another visit to this lounge.
It's still the same kits, and the kits was retrieved somewhere behind the desk. And she gave me the kits with the number of the shower room, just before entering the shower room.

Since SQ11 was arrived so early, we had plenty of time for transit. Decided to ask for the ice cream. The choices were vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and black tea. And here are the pictures of the black tea ice cream.

Looking at the sign by the buffet table, the black tea ice cream is actually Assam tea with apple pulps.














Note: I can't stand how F lounge patrons were inconsiderate by not flushing properly the toilets after using it for number two.

The Assam tea with apple pulp ice cream did not disappoint I wanted to take an extra one to eat while waiting for boarding, but decided to act more F and refrained in the end. Tastes really excellent.

In the Satellite 5, I think the shower rooms are shared between F and C so I had to ask for it. Not 100% sure but I think the Satellite 4 F lounge shower rooms are separate from the C shower rooms, so I did not have to ask for the l'Occitane kit.

Of course, being special helps too

For a moment I thought I was going loco.

Sat 4 shower rooms are separate from C lounge.
There are only a few shower rooms, and when I was there the last time, attendant asked me if I would mind going to C shower suite.
I said I'll wait for F shower suite and got it within 5 minutes.
Didn't have to ask for L'Ocittane shower kit.
