In BKK QR has a "Premium" lounge and for those they don't follow the OW rules. So access w/ AY J ticket ^, w/ OWE status travelling Y

@ lkrt I don't know about the guesting policy, as I was travelling on my own, when used that lounge, but you can check my pictures in the opening post of the OW lounges at Finnair outstations thread.

The pictures are what inspired me to go there! As this is the midnight departure, CX lounge is already closed and the JL lounge is very busy.

I'm not sure how variable QR's schedule is, but when I was on midnight AY departure, there was very little time to catch opening hours of the QR lounge unless you travel HBO and don't need / want to pick up a fast track card. Both CX and JL were closed, so Miracle was the only option - and not miraculous at all.

Oh the J ticket is enough? I thought you need to have booth, the J ticket and the OWE status.

The oneworld guide says any of status or cabin should get you in. It's only for QR and RJ tho, not all oneworld airlines from BKK

This is not the lounge we're talking about.

KARFA

Oh sorry.

EDIT: as you noted,J/F passengers on QR or other oneworld flight. No access based on status alone.

Interesting, the OW website doesn't list the OR lounge at all. I stumbled upon it by accident the last time I was on my way to the CX lounge. As AY J/OWE, I had access and actually liked the lounge a lot. It was a morning departure, the lounge was mostly empty and they had a good spread of breakfast items. Next time, I'll skip breakfast at the hotel and go there instead. Oh, and they even served ice cream! Far superior to CX in my opinion.

And even the QR website doesn't have a mention about it! I'll try my luck, at least I will get in and my guest can wait outside.

They don't accept guests flying in Y, but you can buy a companion lounge pass for THB 2,000. I don't think it's worth the money, though.

FlyeBye

Yes, that's true. It's either QR J or OW J AND OWE status.

I'm still convinced that status does not play any role here. Simply put, as long as you are flying any OW ariline on same day, having an F or a J ticket, you'll get access to the QR Premium lounges in BKK / LHR / etc.

the OW website has the following on the QR LHR Premium Lounge:

So I'm assuming same policy goes for BKK (including the guest situation).

I've been in the BA/QF, CX, TG and old JL lounges in BKK. I have not been in the QR lounge.

The BA/QF lounge has gone and JL has been refreshed. My favorite lounge is CX although I had some fantastic katsu in the JL lounge a while back. I'm keen to try out the QR lounge.

I tried all the OW lounges in BKK last week.

The QR lounge is by far the best (by a really really long way). It's absolutely superb. The only downside is the short opening hours. It's only open for around 2:30 hrs prior to each QR flight. That made the hours:

11:00 - 13:00
16:30 - 20:30
22:30 - 00:50
02:30 - 09:30

I was able to gain access with a OW J ticket. I'm also OWE so don't know if that counted or not. But I don't think it does as is the case with the QR lounge at LHR which allows MH J pax access (the only other OW airline who uses the same terminal + MH have their own lounge at LHR).

CX lounge is generally quite good, though lacking showers.

JL lounge is open in the evening and is quite crowded. Was not impressed.

Note that Priority Pass users can also access the Oman Air Lounge and the Air France/KLM lounge. I thought the Air France/KLM lounge was very good. Buffet selection there was great.
