Prologue:

Even though my flight was not scheduled to depart until 01:00A, I arrived at the airport by noon because one of the people in my party had a flight to Australia leaving in the afternoon and we all decided to go together after checking out of the hotel. This would give me the perfect excuse to do some lounge hopping and get well acquainted with HKG airport. I had the opportunity to visit the QF, KA, and CX (The Bridge & The Pier F) but will mainly elaborate on QF and CX The Pier.

The Pier is considered to be one of the best F lounges in the world. Upon entering you are welcomed into a calm oasis that feels private and exclusive. This is the way that a F lounge should be.

Entrance hall.

I wanted to take a shower and was immediately offered one.

Spacious and well appointed.

The Retreat - nap rooms. Up to now everything about this lounge was perfect. However when it came to this area this is where I came across some issues. Let's start with the pros - there is about a dozen of these rooms that afford some much needed rest for tired passengers. My room had a view of the tarmac and there are sockets to plug in your electronics. In addition the mattress was firm and comfortable. The cons - I could feel a draft of air directly above me. This was very annoying and also there was a sign advising guests to limit the use of the room to 1.5 hrs. The last thing I want to do when I am resting is to count the minutes and worry about my check out time.

Summary:

A comfortable late night flight with light catering. The cost cutting is obvious given the quality of the supper courses, especially the appetizer and dessert. The snacks available after the meal service are adequate and the beef burger proved to be satisfying.

The seat is the best feature of flying CX in addition to the crew. Studio CX offers a great assortment of programs and there is something for everyone.
