The Wing First Class Lounge

After a beautiful landing, our flight pulled into Gate 4 about 45 minutes behind schedule at around 7:30PM, but still 2.5 hours before the scheduled departure of our connecting flight. After bidding adieu to our fabulous cabin crew, we walked the few minutes to the connecting pax security check. What a refreshing change from the stupidity of the TSA. Shoes on, liquids in the bag, just the laptop please. With that kind of efficiency, it was no wonder there was no line or wait.

Immediately post-security we took to elevator to Level 7 and the First Class entrance to The Wing, the closest lounge to our nearby connecting Gate 21. The Wing is a very attractive open air lounge with comfy seating, a business/computer area, showers and a very nice dining facility. And free wi-fi throughout.

Since Mrs. SFO slept thru dinner, she made a beeline for the dining room...

Great staff and a very attractive variety of hot entree and deserts, but with the most incredibly beautiful and fresh salad bar, with hand prepared and trimmed greens.

Just looking for a lav and I was escorted to one many shower equipped bathrooms.

Only another hour to go...

The Wing at HKG

After we settled in, I headed out to explore The Wing and check on the state of renovations.

No changes here...

But access to/from the Business Class Lounge and the elevators to the gates appears to have been eliminated with the addition of new room.

The dining room is wonderful as ever, with a beautiful selection of food...

I stopped to use one of the restrooms and found myself in one of the spa-type rooms. Interesting lay-out but seriously deficient in the ventilation department.
