Emirates is celebrating the opening of its new lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1). The newly relocated and refurbished lounge in the airport's latest terminal is designed to set a new standard for premium travel, offering Emirates travellers an elevated ground experience.
With the $5 million refurbishment, the lounge now spans 1,454 square metres. It can accommodate all premium passengers travelling on two simultaneous A380 departures, with a capacity of 250 people. The expanded lounge in Bangkok now stands as the largest international lounge facility beyond the airline’s home market.
Emirates’ First and Business Class passengers as well as Skywards members can look forward to pre-flight rest and relaxation with upscale furnishings in the signature Emirates style, elegant dining options and serene ambiance. The lounge also offers a range of amenities, including shower spas, complimentary Wi-Fi and a food and beverage selection that incorporates local and international dishes, as well as classic Thai desserts.
Emirates is one of the first airlines to move to the SAT-1 Terminal, which offers modern and convenient facilities for passengers flying on any one of the airline’s six daily flights from Bangkok. Located on the fourth floor of SAT-1, the Emirates lounge is a five-minute walk to the boarding gates.
Emirates currently operates 41 airport lounges worldwide, including seven at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and 34 across its global network. The airline also offers eligible passengers access to partner lounges in select destinations.
