BKK Lounges
Hello, can anyone tell me if a J cash ticket would give access to the Qatar lounge at BKK?
If not, are there any lounges at that airport that serve halal food which would grant entry to a J ticketed passenger?
This isn't for anytime soon, so current closures aren't relevant.
Thanks.

Technically a J cash ticket for BA gives you access to Qatar, Cathay and JAL lounges.
However the only of those open in the run up to the BA flight is Cathay. Don't believe there is a Halal menu / option there, but TBH wasn't looking for one.

For the OP, for the timing of BA10, CX is the lounge open (if it is indeed open at all these days).

When I have travelled on BA10 I used the CX lounge which was rather nice. The JL lounge is ok but nothing special
cant really comment on the Halal options I am afraid

if I remember correctly the Qatar Lounge in Bangkok is a Premium Lounge, meaning only Customers travelling on Qatar in Business or FIRST can access it, similar to their Business and First Lounge in Doha, and is not open for status Customers. This could be the reason why the QR lounge is not listed on the Oneworld Lounge finder.
