Or lounges, rather. The F section in the satellite offers a restaurant section, where they may have some bubbles available for breakfast (I can't remember which one now). After that, head back to the regional side, it's a J lounge, but it has the best ambiance out of all international lounges. It's most likely that the PNH flight will depart from the main (regional) side of the terminal.

Me too. I just booked it with Avios. I won't have access to the MH lounge, unless someone with access lets me be their guest. There is a priority pass lounge I can use though.
I booked the Mary Beach Hotel and Resort in Sihanoukville. It is right next to the Tamu hotel, but quite a bit cheaper. I may change this depending on what others are doing.
I'm probably going to spend a couple of days in Phnom Penh after the Post DO. Siem Reap will be fun for those going there, but I've been there recently and don't want to go back so soon.

I'm a *A flyer normally so the EQM from MH won't do anything for me even on a paid ticket.

Ooh, how much Avios was it? In Y and in J? I booked mine using Chase points but I have Amex points I haven't figured out how to use, so if Avios has a good deal maybe I should change it to an Avios booking.

Is anyone else on this flight also staying at the Ren in sihanoukville?
I'm meeting 2 of my FT friends at the airport in PNH landing and the Ren is sending a car to take us to the resort (cost is about $20 per person). If someone else wants to join, we can take you too, but we need to know in advance because it requires getting a larger car if we have 4 or more people + bags.

Edit: The Ren resort wasn't sold out. I was mistaken. I will be staying at the Ren.

I expect that this one probably won't be as formally planned out as the other plans and might be more play it by ear with just a few major events scheduled. But as long as you're flexible (and don't mind the adventure of last-minute planning) I don't think you'll need to worry about missing anything. I would really recommend staying at one of the hotels where one of the DO organizers is staying, for convenience. So either Grand Hyatt or Shangri-La.

You'll find the GH to be more popular among us, and it's just a slightly little bit closer to town. There are also a few hotels within a few minutes walk from the GH as well which may be more suitable depending on tastes and budgets.
