So I’m here right now in the BKK lounge covered in Glenfiddich because a group of children have been using the lounge as an Olympic track ring. Staff here nonchalantly said sorry and gave me a few napkins but it’s not really doing the trick and it seems my jeans are gonna be imbued with the stench of dried liquor for the next 24 some hour trip. Their nanny said sorry, but needless to say their seemingly Qatari local parents did not give a rats ... about the behavior of their offspring. Another poor sap a few seats away is covered in cappuccino and I feel even worse for him. Is this normal behavior in this lounge or most QR lounges? Do the staff here not try to control or even suggest to parents or even nannies to try to control the behavior of their offspring? This is my first QR round trip but I def don’t remember maniacal kids at the Mourjan lounges alas, guess I have to resign myself to scotch pants until I get back to NYC.

When I was there last week I encountered similar. The lounge was like a zoo. Loud, kids running and crying. It's a difficult topic but in my oppinion the airlines created lounges in the beginning to offer a relaxing oasis before a flight. That's no longer given at many places. Are family rooms an option? For sure one option is to go to the Cathay lounge, it can be busy but never experienced the same level of zoo.
