Can guest use first class check-in?

I have a friend flying in Y while I am in F on a Thai flight. Same flight but different tickets. I know I can guest my friend into the lounge but can we also use the first class check-in together?

You will be absolutely fine. I have done this with me in F and kids in C.

Were you able to guest more than one child into the f lounge? I'm travelling with my husband and mother in law, who are travelling in c and was hoping i might be able to get them both into the f lounge.

You may have difficulty. A while ago, I was informed I could only have 1 guest accompany me in BKK F lounge. An extra guest would be $100 USD.

That's interesting - I didn't know TG would offer paid access to their F lounges. I'm travelling with two other pax in June, and have assumed that as *A Gold I'd only get one of them into the lounge. We are all flying Y Class. However TG Australia are offering paid access to some of their Bangkok lounges for a fee so who knows https://www.thaiairways.com/sites/en...ngepasses.page

ROP members can also use miles to buy lounge access - Royal Silk (biz) lounges only thought, not Royal First.

Yes, I had both kids in the lounge. They were 13 and 15 at that time. Besides TG being very accommodating with kids, there were other factors that might have helped in the access for them both. TG's children policy

However, you have no entitlement to guest 2 adults, only 1. You you can try and ask politely, but expect a polite 'no'.

Thanks! I'll ask. If no, will they come get me for my flight in the business lounge?

I suspect not, but that is just an opinion.
