Emirates enhances business travel experience with new luxury lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport
Emirates has unveiled its newly relocated and refurbished lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, within the newly opened Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1), offering an enhanced ground experience for premium travellers.
This development is of particular interest to UK-based business travellers who frequently fly with Emirates, as it provides an upgraded pre-flight experience with greater comfort, convenience, and exclusive amenities. For those travelling between the UK and Bangkok, this refurbishment ensures a seamless and luxurious airport experience before boarding one of Emirates’ six daily flights from the Thai capital.
The $5 million renovation has transformed the lounge into a 1,454-square-metre space, with capacity for 250 guests, comfortably accommodating premium passengers travelling on two simultaneous A380 departures. As the largest international lounge facility beyond Emirates’ home market, the Bangkok lounge offers First and Business Class passengers, as well as Skywards members, an elevated level of service in line with the airline’s renowned premium offerings.
The lounge features elegant furnishings in the signature Emirates style, a refined selection of international and local cuisine, classic Thai desserts, and a well-appointed range of amenities, including shower spas and complimentary Wi-Fi. Located on the fourth floor of SAT-1, it is just a five-minute walk to the boarding gates, ensuring maximum convenience for business travellers on tight schedules.
Emirates is among the first airlines to move into SAT-1, benefiting from the terminal’s state-of-the-art facilities. The airline currently operates 41 lounges worldwide, including seven at Dubai International Airport and 34 across its global network.
This launch coincides with Emirates’ 35th anniversary of operations in Thailand, underscoring the airline’s commitment to the region. Emirates operates five daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, as well as direct services to Phuket and Hong Kong. The airline provides the highest premium cabin capacity among international carriers flying to and from Bangkok, with over 870 daily First and Business Class seats.
Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, commented on the benefits for business travellers:
This investment by Emirates further enhances the premium travel experience for UK-based business travellers flying to Bangkok. With upgraded facilities, convenient access to departure gates, and world-class amenities, this lounge ensures that business travellers can enjoy a seamless and relaxing start to their journey.
Beyond the lounge, Emirates’ premium services include a Chauffeur-drive service covering a 60-km radius from Suvarnabhumi Airport, exclusive check-in counters, and an exceptional onboard experience, particularly on the Airbus A380, which features a signature Onboard Lounge, private First Class suites, and luxurious Shower Spa.
