I did like the lounge but the food wasn't very tasty.
I was flying on two separate tickets award J on the SGN-BKK leg and then continuing on the same plane to IST on a paid J. It did confuse the checkin agent at first she wanted me to collect and recheck my bag in BKK. That wouldn't be pretty. But then she worked it all out and checked my bag all the way to GRU. Now as for my boarding passes I was given a BP for SGN-BKK and IST-GRU but they couldn't print one for BKK-IST for some reason. They send a note and/or called ahead to BKK for me because on this flight from SGN you have to stay on the plane of continuing to IST. When we landed in BKK there was a GA waiting at the door who took my passport and came back shortly with my new BP. It all worked out nicely and now I'm at the lounge in IST waiting for the next flight.

Hmm. I wonder who you might be. We could have been on the same flight... I was on TK 69 from BKK to IST on 23 Dec. It wasn't really a full cabin that day either.
