On a separate note, I always get the TG lounge card, but never use it Do you think I could use it on a completely different date and airline? Or will it not scan through?

I turned up 15 minutes before boarding of QR833 yesterday in shorts and was straight up refused entry — was offered escort to the Thai lounge instead. Wnet to the JL for a quick drink instead.

If you hold a business or first class ticket, then yes. But OWE with economy ticket are not allowed, as QR status members are not as well.

I am flying on CX in J but given your answer I assume this is only restricted to QR ticket. Thanks anyway

CX J *should* allow you access if you happen to be there when the lounge is open, CX in Y would not.

What is ironic is that some of our group dressed in Chino shorts and polo shirts after some sightseeing in Bangkok were asked to change, whereas in the lounge, there were people wearing hooded tracksuits. I guess they draw the line at shorts.

I wasn't impressed that it took 5 min to be checked into the lounge due to some issue with their registration system, the showers were closed for refurb (I went to JL 1 min walk away), they don't Trust passengers with the WiFi code (you hand them your device and they enter it), and the champagne was Pommery. However, the pastries were nice.

Of all the absurdities presented in this thread this must be the nuttiest especially considering wifi PWs can be retrieved once entered.

The showers have been "closed for refurb" almost since the day the lounge opened. Staff not sure when/if they will re-open. Seems like it might be related to another post here reporting an accident in bkk lounge showers.

They weren't doing this when I was there last week. Maybe it was a member of staff who was trying to be extra helpful, or they may have run out of the little slips containing the password.

Perhaps they were trying to be helpful and I might have misjudged their intentions. However, following a somewhat awkward entry procedure with a J class boarding pass where staff seemed to be obsessed about correctly registering us, then obsessively checking my ID again as I almost immediately left the lounge to the JL lounge for a shower (I couldn't understand this) it raised my suspicion that they were not entering WiFi passwords themselves just to be helpful.
