On the other hand, arriving at 6am everyone had to go through security which was chaotic. Just take your boarding pass and go to front of queue to agent and show the boarding time on the pass. They will direct you straight to the front if there is very little time left to boarding.
Is it just one huge line for all flights? I am a bit worried as our flight from BKK arrives at 0535 but within the 0500-0600 period there are around 20 international flights.
We don't have a tight connection, it's about 3 hours but this is probably the only chance we will get to experience the lounge.
Is there a priority security line for J class? (Don't laugh, we have such things in Australia).
