Which lounge is best in BKK?
 

Flying Royal Jordanian as Cathay DM out of BKK. Should I use the lounge provided by Royal Jordanian or go use the Cathay Pacific lounge?

Also, just realized I'm in a whole new situation. As DM I'm able to take in two guests but does that only apply to Cathay flights? If I'm flying OW flights am I only allowed one guest even when I am Cathay DM using a Cathay lounge?

Thanks for the answer.

QF lounge is also very good. i'd go there.

but yes, 2 guests is a CX benefit so 2nd guest must be flying CX.

QF Lounge closed years ago. CX can be very busy. JL lounge usually quieter

Forget about TG.

Technically you can only bring 1x guest since you are not flying CX...but they may let you in if they are in a good mood.

There is already a discussion about BKK lounge options here:

TL/DL: CX if you want bubbles/pad thai. JAL Sakura if you like Japanese curry. Note the opening hours.

JAL Sakura if you need to shower.

I dont think JAL Sakura Lounge will an option at your departure time, doesnt it close during the day as they dont have flights at that time? I could be wrong on that one but thought that was the case. The CX lounge can get busy especially when they have multiple flights going out. I know lots of people rave about the CX lounge and it is nice but personally I dont see any reason to get to the airport early to enjoy the lounge. I would spend more time in they city and less time in the lounge assuming you are starting your journey from Bangkok that is.

The JL lounge is open from 05:40 to 09:45 and 17:55 to 00:25.
So it's OK for the AMM departure after midnight, but not an option for the afternoon flights to HKG and KUL.

Thanks for posting the times. I actually assumed they were talking about the BKK-HKG flight but they actually didnt say which one so thanks for the reminder they well might be going to AMM and then the JL lounge would be an option.

Thank you all for your help. I'm traveling with family so would like to find a nice lounge to settle in. We are all in C class so the RJ lounge will be no problem. We do have extra family member (if only +1) then I guess we'll just head to RJ lounge.

With a C class ticket you can all access the CX lounge, no need for DM guesting. The TG lounge is really bad in comparison.

TG lounge used by RJ is really mediocre.
if you all travel in J then try the CX lounge. At busy time, they might impose a capacity constraint for RJ pax. They are a three minutes walk one from the other.

I find the BKK lounges to be Blah at best. I usually end up checking out the CX, JAL and Miracle (PP) lounges while I'm there.

The only thing the CX lounge has going is the Noodle Bar- Other food options are terrible. JAL Does have Curry and Steamed Rice Options and "Fried Chicken" .. The Miracle Lounge has a pancake machine and haagen daaz ice cream....

All are basic IMO.. But most comfortable IMO is CX

The JL lounge closes earlier than 9:45 in the morning. They simple shut their door when all JL pax left the lounge, which is normally around 9:20-9:30
