So the onward F on CX doesn't matter, even though there's no F offered on the flight? No, not emerald.

I dont recall an F lounge in bkk.

If there were an F lounge at BKK, you'd probably be admitted; but there isn't one.

The BA lounge has been closed for a while and the space is being taken over for the new CX lounge.

End of May is the target date for the new lounge.

CX lounge is a bit too crowded. You have a choice of QF, JL, or Louis Tavern. JL is open early morning or late a night. THEY WILL ASK FOR THE LOUNGE CARD.

QF has various operating hours and personal preference would be the JL lounge.

If you're flying CX, you'll be given a lounge invitation card. But if you're flying another ow carrier and wanted to use the JL lounge, simply present your OWS card.

I had a peek behind the hoarding today and it's a long way from being finished.
I'll be very surprised if it's ready on time, but happy if I'm wrong.

Hopefully it'll be ready in time. I'll be going to BKK at the start of June. Failing that.. not sure which lounge I should go to.

I'll be passing though BKK on the 13th of June so I'll report back if it's not already open.

I flew out of BKK this morning. Lounge won't be ready until the middle of July. As typically Thai, they are behind schedule. I had a peak through the cracks and it's coming along...slowly.
