EK Lounge General Discussion

I can’t seem to find any information reported on this (maybe it was obvious and I missed it). It appears the emirates lounge in BKK is permanently closed. I was only here a couple months ago and it was fine. All the signs for the lounge are blacked out across the airport and the lounge is closed. Had a peak through the window. Furniture still there but can tell it’s not looking like it will be open again soon. Does anyone know why?
New EK lounge has opened in the Satellite terminal.
EK and others are moving or have already moved to the satellite terminal

I had my 1st experiences with DXB First lounges last week.

Outward journey had me in the B gates lounge. Showers are remarkably small and toilets are located across the corridor in another facility. They make the QF dom lounges in SYD look good. Food was great during 1-3am timeslot. I had the seared scallops followed by the Wagyu steak. The French patisseries looked amazing but for some reason I forgot that calories in airports don’t count.

Return journey had me leaving from the A gates. Showers are better (missing tap pieces so some guesswork required to operate), lounge almost deserted (6-8am) and boarding from the lounge (unlike other gate lounges). Eggs Royale was a winner. The feeling of isolation in this lounge is a welcome relief after managing the transfer from C to A gates. I think no more than 15 people joined me for this lounge onto the A380.
 
yes the showers are a bit of let down compared to QF Mel/Syd/Sin, small and not much pressure - although there are plenty so I have never had to wait (unlike QF Sin)... and towels and other amenities are good

At EK IST partner lounge I was handed a disposable paper towel - first time ever...
