Emirates has officially opened its new lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1), marking a significant upgrade for premium travelers. The move to the airport’s newest terminal and a $5 million refurbishment have created Emirates’ largest international lounge outside of Dubai.
Spanning an impressive 1,454 square meters, the lounge boasts a capacity of 250 guests, comfortably accommodating passengers on two simultaneous A380 departures. First and Business Class passengers, along with Skywards members*, can indulge in pre-flight relaxation with luxurious seating, gourmet dining options, and a tranquil ambiance.
Amenities include shower spas, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a diverse menu featuring local Thai delicacies alongside international fare and classic Thai desserts.
Emirates is among the first airlines to operate from SAT-1, providing seamless access for passengers on its six daily flights from Bangkok to Dubai and Hong Kong. The lounge, located on the fourth floor, is a mere five-minute walk from the boarding gates.
This latest addition brings Emirates’ global lounge network to 41 locations, including seven at Dubai International Airport and 34 across its worldwide destinations. Eligible passengers also have access to partner lounges in select locations.
Commitment to Thailand
As Emirates approaches its 35th anniversary of service to Thailand, the airline reaffirms its dedication to supporting the country’s tourism and business sectors. Operating five daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok (using a mix of A380s and Boeing 777s), double daily flights to Phuket, and a daily service to Hong Kong, Emirates offers substantial connectivity.
Emirates holds the largest cabin capacity of any international carrier serving Bangkok, providing over 870 First and Business Class seats daily. This significant premium capacity underscores Emirates’ leadership in luxury travel to and from Bangkok, driving the need for an expanded lounge facility.
Bangkok’s status as Emirates’ second-largest destination for premium seat capacity highlights the strong demand for upscale travel experiences.
Beyond the Flight
Emirates’ premium experience extends beyond the aircraft. First and Business Class passengers enjoy complimentary Chauffeur-drive service within a 60-km radius of Suvarnabhumi Airport**, dedicated check-in counters, and an unparalleled onboard experience on the A380. This includes the iconic Onboard Lounge, private First Class suites, a Shower Spa, and the award-winning ice entertainment system with over 6,500 channels.
