Emirates has now opened its newly relocated and refurbished lounge at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, Satellite 1 Terminal.
The lounge underwent a $5 million refurbishment and now spans 1,454 square metres. With a capacity of 250 guests, it can comfortably accommodate all premium passengers travelling on two simultaneous A380 departures. That’s a lot of people, so it will be interesting to see how busy this lounge will get, given that Emirates has a very active presence at Bangkok Airport; the airline operates five daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, using a mix of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s, as well as double daily flights to Phuket and a daily non-stop service between Bangkok and Hong Kong.
The expanded lounge in Bangkok now stands as the largest international lounge facility beyond the airline’s home market.

Emirates is one of the first airlines to move to the SAT-1 Terminal. Emirates also operates 41 airport lounges worldwide, including seven at Dubai International Airport and 34 across its global network.
Emirates also operates the largest premium cabin capacity among international carriers to/from Bangkok.
Bangkok is also the Emirate’s second-largest destination with First—and Business-Class seat capacity, highlighting the route’s popularity and strong demand for premium travel.
Travel with Emirates extends beyond the flight experience. First and business-class passengers enjoy door-to-door luxury with complimentary Chauffeur-drive service covering a 60-km radius from Suvarnabhumi Airport, which I’ve written in the past, and exclusive check-in counters. On Emirate’s A380 aircraft, the premium experience includes the airline’s signature Onboard Lounge, private First Class suites and luxurious Shower Spa.
