1. Any feedback on the itinerary and airlines? I've heard bad stuff about OZ C, but I've only done short hops on them...It's already ticketed, but interested in feedbac.

SFO - ICN OZ 1 am - 5:20 am +1
ICN - BKK SQ 12:30 pm - 4pm
BKK - LHE TG 8:00 pm - 11pm

LHE - BKK TG Leave 10:50pm
BKK - SIN SQ
SIN - SFO SQ Arrive 720pm


2. I assume that she can get boarding passes all the way to LHE when she checks in atSFO?


3. Any advice on lounges for these airports? I've never flown on an XC before, but i assume they still have access? My mom's not too saavy of a traveler so I just want to get her as much info as possible...

Thanks!
You're putting your poor mum, a not-too-sassy traveller, on OZ and in ICN for a 7+ hour transfer, and then another 4 in BKK? Couldn't you have gone SFO-SIN-BKK-LHE on SQ/TG instead? She'll be dog tired by the time she gets to Pakistan!

You could have tried putting her on :
SQ 1C SFOSIN 0125 1135
SQ 66C SINBKK 1600 1720 /
TG 505C 5 BKKLHE 2000 2240 /

Because at least she can get refreshed at SIN airport, and you can ask for Meet and Greet service in SIN through SQ.

As an international Business Class passenger she will automatically be invited to Business Class lounges.
