Former TG F and C lounges remain closed. The new TG Prestige Lounge near gate D4 has an F section, the so called fishbowl. This F section has no facilities or service of any kind, so you walk to the main lounge to get food and drinks. The fishbowl is not really seperared from the main lounge, all C passengers can also enter without any checks. The Prestige Lounge looks better than the former D lounges, food and drink selection is slightly above the former C offerings. SQ an BR lounges remain closed so the only alternative is the TK C lounge.

Yesterday, LX check-in was open when I arrived a bit less than four hours before departure. The PA for F passengers remains, but just for departures. There is a new fast track security and immigration, currently about the only positive aspect of BKK.

LX out of BKK? Best thing is to sleep. Food out of BKK has always been bad. No airbridge for door 1 this morning in ZRH and Heidi train as there was no F pickup present. Crew did a good job despite their 17 hour hotel lockup in Bangkok.
