can a J pax go in F lounge with F pax on same flight?
hi there,
we're booked for TG910 on the A380 but we have one ticket in J and two tickets in F. Is the person who's name is on J access the F lounge with the other F passengers or does he/she have to use the J lounge

I was in a similar situation in Nov 2014. My wife and daughter was in F and I was in J, we were met on arrival at BKK and taken straight to the F lounge as we were on a connection. Good luck

Both older than 12, but I did need to do some legwork as Thai wanted to treat them as UAM (<=17), apparently due to me in a different class and associated separation between cabins. The compromise was I sat in 3A, and they were seated on the lower deck in 23E/F which meant I was 'handy - but no issues at all....

I have travelled in F BKK-LHR, with 2 teen lads in J (2007). No issues with them accompanying me to the F lounge in BKK at that time. Their access may have partially been based on being my kids, rather than any F guesting entitlement.

and this shows the usual generosity and flexibility of TG! While at many other locations and Airlines i often see cases, where families are treated strictly according to rules and are not allowed to enter Lounge together...
for OP no issue though, even could guest one more Person...

Several months ago I had a slightly different situation. I was travelling in F, with 2 friends travelling in C. I asked if we could all use the F lounge at BKK. Answer was, 2nd guest would need to pay just over $100 for lounge access.

Given J pax already have lounge access to the Royal Silk/Orchid lounges with a rough vakue of USD35-40, then the additional USD100 looks poor value indeed if only for the food/drink/ambience. Unless, of course, the spa is included.

I'm not sure that the J pax would be allowed to have the 1 hour spa/massage.

are they charging just for passengers in accompany with F/platinum, who exceed guest allowance or are they officially selling F Lounge Access to any passenger (what it seems they started for J Lounge)

that`s why I am raising the question! is a one hour massage included in the 100 USD Access fee, or just for seat, Food, drinks?

Well, i think that rate is only for 1 pax as the other 1 pax can get in with the F pax. Now the rate is actually to discourage people from bringing guests in over & above the limit. I mean the Business lounges already has enough of riff-raff at times. I have seen people in there with no class at all walking around with no socks and just sitting with their feet all over the place, esp in the BKK lounges.
