EVA Air (BR)
- Class: Business
- Location: Bangkok (BKK)
- Access:
- First and Business Class passengers on Star Alliance
- Star Alliance Gold card holders
- Date: October 2014
Despite being a member of Star Alliance, like Thai Airways, EVA Air maintains its own lounge at BKK which is conveniently located about 5 minutes walk from the gate for the London flight. We would have been entitled to use either the Singapore or Thai lounges but I’m glad that EVA made the effort to keep hold of this lounge in order to ease the transit process for passengers on our flight.
The lounge is small but has more than enough seating for all of the business class passengers on a single 77W
Awesome tarmac view!
Still, what true #AVGeek just stays put when they can go on a lounge tour?
Thai Airways (TG)
- Class: Business
- Location: Bangkok, Concourse E (BKK)
- Access:
- First and Business Class passengers on Star Alliance
- Star Alliance Gold card holders
- Date: October 2014
With around twenty minutes to spare we headed for the most geographically proximate TG lounge, there just so happened to be one within the E Concourse, moments away from where we were. It also boasted tarmac views and had a darker, more traditionally Thai ambience to it.
Last chance to enjoy proper Thai food for a while.
The pros: better food, less people.
The cons: worse location, messing around to get wifi codes.
Overall, the Thai lounge was good but a little old fashioned and quiet. Given the fact that wifi access required messing around with access codes as well, the value proposition just didn’t stack up. In future I’d just stay in the EVA Air lounge, especially given the limited time.
