We arrived in San Francisco at around 6:30PM, leaving us plenty of time before our 11:05PM flight to Hong Kong. Since our flight was arriving at Terminal 2, we had to take the AirTrain to International Terminal A, where Cathay Pacific departs from. By the time we got there, Cathay Pacific check-in wasn't even open,…

get me in?
The seating in the lounge looks downright depressing - agree it all looks so communal and soulless. Furniture warehouse is an apt descriptor.
As far as spending extra hours at aspirational lounges go, obviously Emirates First Class at DXB ranks up there. Any idea how far in advance of a flight in First Class one could check in? I mean, in theory someone could "overnight" there with ease to save on a hotel?
That lounge looks boring and depressing like most US based carriers. Pretty pathetic actually IMHO.
With extra time, I would have stopped by the centurion lounge first for a cocktail or two and a bite then finished the night at the Cathay pacific lounge. Yeah it's an extra trip through security but totally worth it.

Whoever you are, you aren't fooling anyone.
BA is currently expanding their lounge to account for the increase in passengers with the A380 service to SFO, and are temporarily directing some of their passengers to the CX lounge. While this doesn't explain why is was full, it may explain why they wait to put out the better food.
I recently visited this lounge before flying JAL F. It's definitely good in comparison to other US lounges. While it probably doesn't beat the Oneworld lounges in LAX, it sure beats the Oneworld lounges at ORD.
The problem with the look of the lounge also is that the color seem makes it seem a bit more drab than it should be. Don't those circular chairs have red upholstery in Hong Kong? They should have a few of those in this lounge, if only for a pop or 2 of color.
I think the reason it has a furniture store/showroom vibe is that there is absolutely nothing on the walls and the furniture seems to be just dumped everywhere.
I haven't been to too many first class lounges, but the setting in this one just looked preeeetty lame. I mean some people (obviously not Lucky ;)) are paying top dollars for the ticket and than they end up in a boring first class lounge like this one? Every airport Starbucks looks more comfortable than this lounge.
@ Shane: The full saying is "Happy as a clam at high tide". When the tide is out, it just sort of depends on the individual clam.
Sorry to nitpick, but in the business section it looks like they have three iMacs and four HP all-in-ones, rather than seven iMacs 🙂
Is there or better will be there a seperate oneworld first class lounge in SFO open when departing at 2.30pm with AB at A-gates june 2017? In other words what is the best choice for one world emerald in the afternoon? Thanks Mike, Vienna
