HKG SKL Reopen after Refurb

MAN Flyer · 11th May 2012, 04:28 AM

I thought this had already been posted on here but I couldn't see it.

Seems they have finally listened to one of the biggest complaints about the place.

I was there in Feb and was on a delay, missing connection in SIN - receptionist suggested I went to Thai lounge instead...its was much much nicer, although the shower wasnt so good but better than no shower at all!!

The old one had really good showers and I was surprised to notice that they had gone!!

That's good. Where will they be placed?

*G pax got their status for next to nothing. They're not worth paying attention to and thus do not deserve such a luxury.

Im on my way with A3, I am therefore expecting a pack of wet wipes for my shower.

Good to know this. Next, they should just remove the F section of that lounge if they are not going to do anything with it.

Any update on this?

Transitting on SQ1 this weekend and will probably want a shower upon arrival. Which other *A lounge is preferable otherwise?

I do not think u r able to access any *A lounge upon arrival, as all the lounges are in the departure level. HKG and SIN are different; arriving and departing passengers will never get to meet in the sterile area.

i think only CX has got a arrival lounge in HKG?

Why not just hoof it over to The Pier?

The TG lounge is far better than the SKL, unfortunately it's at the opposite end of the terminal.

Having said that, I am sure I read on here not long ago that it's the best designed airport in the world so I am sure you will be able to get there and back with ease, and without using a Skytrain.

Well here's a preview of a new rant. I've just flown thru 3 US airports and can say that HKG security was run at a far higher level of shambolic incompetence this morning. TSA has nothing on these people.

AT LEAST 500 pax from various arriving flights were expected to pass thru ONE x-ray scanner to get thru transit security back to the departure level. Plus some 20 year old trainee scrutinizing everything on the monitor...

45 minutes in line.
