Lovely lounge – great undertoned atmosphere and great service; one of the best airline lounge at BKK airport. On my discount economy ticket I can renter as a Qantas Gold FF (Oneworld). I was hoping for the JAL lounge but at 10.55am it is not open yet.

I make my way straight for the signature noodle bar and order 2 types of Siu Mai and Dan Dan noodles. Delicious.

I then move to the bar area and contemplate a glass of Rose Chandon but it is too early, so go for a Virgin Pina Colada instead. Refreshing.

After about 30 minutes I make my way to the gate.

All too easy.
