Lounge restrictions
I have noticed a sign in the BKK TG D lounge that from 1 April holders of Star Gold would no longer have access to the lounge. They could still use the C and E lounges. The D lounge will be restricted to F and C pax. A disappointing restriction.

Hmmmm....this news was reported some time ago. Thanks for the update.
I think it isn't un-reasonable - SQ does a similar thing at Changi, where *G and get to use the SATS Lounge and only business pax can use the Silver Kris lounge....

unless the re-opened D lounges for *G temporarily over the last 3months, this policy has been in place for quite some time now.
Maybe it goes even back to last year April 1 and they just haven't replaced the sign
there have been quite a few discussions on here about it, so I am not going to open that can of worms...

I did manage to witness a less than polite gentleman, using foul language and physically kicking the glass door coupled with hand gestures at 510 am. I think they open at 515 am. From his accent, I can only assume he was one of the splendid English gentry who occasionally fly with us commoners!!!

You can always head over to SQ's lounge with your *G card.

Was transiting BKK last friday sign was handwritten outside D lounge - I have never seen this before. A gentleman infront of me was allowed in D lounge with Star Gold Card on Y ticket after discussion with dragon at door.
