EmiratesDubai, UAE – 31 January 2025: Emirates is celebrating the opening of its new lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1).
The newly relocated and refurbished lounge in the airport’s latest terminal sets a new standard for premium travel, offering Emirates customers an enhanced ground experience that matches the sophistication of their journey.
With the $5 million refurbishment, the lounge now spans 1,454 square metres. With the capacity for 250 guests, it can comfortably accommodate all premium passengers traveling on two simultaneous A380 departures. The expanded lounge in Bangkok now stands as the largest international lounge facility beyond the airline’s home market.
Emirates’ First and Business Class passengers as well as Skywards members* can look forward to pre-flight rest and relaxation with upscale furnishings in the signature Emirates style, elegant dining options and serene ambiance. The lounge also offers a range of amenities, including shower spas, complimentary Wi-Fi as well a rich food and beverage selection that incorporates local and international dishes, as well as classic Thai desserts.
Emirates is one of the first airlines to move to the SAT-1 Terminal, which offers modern and convenient facilities for customers flying on any one of the airline’s six daily flights from Bangkok. Conveniently located on the fourth floor of SAT-1, the Emirates lounge is just a five minute walk to the boarding gates.
Emirates currently operates 41 airport lounges worldwide, including seven at Dubai International Airport and 34 across its global network. The airline also offers eligible customers access to partner lounges in select destinations.
Strengthening operations in Thailand
This year, Emirates will be celebrating 35 years of service to Thailand, and over the years the airline has doubled down on its commitment to growing tourism and business to the key Southeast Asia travel hub.
