Emirates has unveiled its biggest lounge outside of Dubai at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, following a $5 million refurbishment. Located in the Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1), the lounge now spans 1,454 square meters, offering space for up to 250 passengers.

Designed to cater to premium travelers, the lounge serves First and Business Class passengers as well as Skywards members. It features amenities like shower spas, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a curated selection of food and beverages. Emirates highlighted that the facility can accommodate customers from two simultaneous A380 departures.

This milestone coincides with Emirates’ 35th anniversary of operations in Thailand, a key market in its global network. The airline operates five daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, in addition to services to Phuket and Hong Kong.

Globally, Emirates now operates 41 airport lounges, including its flagship seven at Dubai International Airport. The airline is also making significant upgrades at Dubai International, with a new private first-class check-in area set to open in June 2025.

In its recent half-year report, Emirates revealed a Dh44 million investment in new facilities, including lounges in London Stansted and Jeddah, as well as upgrades in Paris. These efforts reflect the airline’s commitment to enhancing customer experiences worldwide.
