Bangkok and Jakarta via Emirates First Class
Off to Bangkok...

With another 5 day hall pass, I’m off for three days in Bangkok and Jakarta. Up first is a mid-morning American flight to Chicago, then a 7 hour layover before my Emirates First Class flight to Dubai and Bangkok. Major improvement in the Chicago T5 lounge scene as Emirates now uses the new LOT Business Lounge, a very pleasant lounge and so much better than the dumpy SAS Lounge.

First stop is the Amex Centurion Lounge in the C concourse at DIA. I was there early enough that there was queue to enter.





Even got the coveted private suite. lol



Off to my gate...





Denver DEN to Chicago ORD
American AA 2755
737-800

American's state of the art First Class cabin.



With the latest in seat back video entertainment. LOL



$24 for 90 minutes of Wi-FI? Good luck on selling that.





On the other hand, American serves meals on DEN-ORD unlike United.



O'Hare on a nice sunny day.



And the Lake Michigan shoreline.



Nice view of downtown..





And the K Concourse of Terminal 3.
