Best J lounge at BKK?

[PaulyB]

Hello
All the previous conversations on this seem old so.....
We are doing the final leg tomorrow of an OWA in J, on QF24 from BKK to Sydney. I know there is a selection of lounge options. Any recommended preferences? Will probably be in there for 3 hours or so. Thanks!

In my humble opinion.
Qatar #1
Cathay #2
Emirates #3
With 3 hours to spare, try all of them!

I've only used Qatar lounge (very nice) & Miracle (don't bother). Was flying on a OWA in 2022 but I note on the Qatar & Oneworld page it now states

I've not used the Qatar lounge (business and above) but both wife and I love the Emirates lounge. After 2-4 weeks in Thailand I love that we have the option of eating western food.

I preferred the EK lounge over even the QR a la carte dining area. But agree with trying them all and deciding for yourself!

Out of interest, how long since you ventured into the Miracle lounge?
I had the same reservations about it when we went through last year but I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements they had made. Wasn’t a huge buffet but the chef was knocking up some quality hawker style meals and the ice cream freezer got a workout too
Decent enough beverage selection and lounge was quiet and comfortable.

Other than CX the lounges have limited opening hours.

Check the oneworld and EK sites.

Oh yeah! That is so right!

Indeed. Makes the whole conversation redundant because some of them probably won't be open and I doubt we would be in the lounge much anyway. Thanks for all the info. It will help someone, sometime, I am sure.

Are you at the least in J?
if they try to squash as many people as possible onto the plane, with the cancellation, then its going to be
"bad" in Y.
You mention lounge, so you have the "upper" status, or hopefully flying J.

 

[PaulyB]

Yes J. Thank heavens. As this is a delayed flight tho, I doubt there is extra cramming. Just extra grumpy!
