No scrum, no panic, just how I like it

Sounds like your were luckier than me, but, that you also had a tight connection. The escort through security was followed by an escort to the lounge, so, you missed the lounge (?) which I thought was great in BKK. In Sydney no escort was offered. That came out wrong!
