sorry - should have grabbed picture of the categories. Pretty long list of qualifiers - including elderly handicapped and diplomatic/official passports

well, it has been for me except once when I was in the line where some family took 15 minutes to clear (would have been 5 if I had been in any other line)

APEC Business Travel Card holders can access fast track when traveling in Y.

indeed...you can also get a fast track pass from BOI if your employer has BOI privileges or you visit a company in Thailand with BOI privileges...

Suvarnabhumi (BKK) - Etihad Business - Which Lounge?



Hi all,
Previous Googling / Etihad website suggested that if you're Etihad Business flyer, you have access to the Miracle Lounge in BKK. This would make sense as there's Miracle lounges by the G Gates (which is where the majority of Etihad seem to depart from).

I just checked the Etihad website again and now they refer to The Coral lounge. It looks like a new lounge, but is located over beside D1. For those of you familiar with BKK, it's essentially the opposite side of the airport to the G gates.

We won't be flying out until Jan 2024 and not exactly a big deal, but would love to know what are the best options for lounges. When we flew TK (Star Alliance), we really loved 'lounge hopping' in BKK, it was great fun! Thanks ll.

Cannot help you much on Etihad access, but since they are non-alliance and do not operate their own lounge, my expectation would be that you only have access to the one lounge they have contracted - and if that is the Coral lounge, then that is what it is

It is indeed new, and located in the space of the old TG F lounge. Looks ok from the outside, but of course accepts all the usual lounge memberships.

There is another Coral lounge I the C concourse, where one of the old TG C / Gold lounges were previously, if I remember correctly.

Coral lounge: there seem to pop up new Coral lounges all over the airport. I can confirm SKT-DK about the one in D where the TG F lounge was and another one in C...probably there are more...

I would raise your question in the Etihad forum; there are more members, who actually depart from BKK by Etihad that in this destination forum

Talking of walkways it looks like no one is responsible for the inspection of the walkways from a regulatory point of view.

I also found a 10 days old YouTube-video by the airport which is about the new satellite terminal:
