They may not have them any more, but they indeed used to have First
Class lounges back in the 70's and early 80's.  I got upgraded to First
Class on a return trip from Italy on a 747 back in the early 80's, and
I could go up a spiral staircase to a lounge with some chairs and a
small bar..., but alas, no piano.
