Emirates has announced the grand opening of its new lounge at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, Satellite 1 Terminal (SAT-1). This newly relocated and refurbished lounge sets a new standard for premium travel, offering Emirates customers an enhanced ground experience that complements the sophistication of their journey.
Major Investment in Bangkok
With a $5 million refurbishment, the new lounge spans an impressive 1,454 square metres, comfortably accommodating up to 250 guests. It is now the largest international lounge facility beyond Emirates’ home market in Dubai. This expansion underscores the importance of Thailand as a key market in Emirates’ network and signals the growing demand for premium travel to and from Bangkok.
Exceptional Amenities for Premium Travellers
Emirates’ First and Business Class passengers, as well as Skywards members, can look forward to a range of upscale amenities. The lounge features elegant furnishings in the signature Emirates style, serene dining options, and a tranquil ambiance. Guests can enjoy shower spas, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a rich selection of food and beverages, including local and international dishes and classic Thai desserts.
Convenient Location and Modern Facilities
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 of the airline’s six daily flights from Bangkok. The lounge is conveniently located on the fourth floor of SAT-1, just a five-minute walk to the boarding gates.
Expanding Operations in Thailand

Emirates will be celebrating 35 years of service to Thailand this year. Over the years, the airline has committed to growing tourism and business in this key Southeast Asia travel hub. Emirates 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.
Leading the Way in Premium Travel
Emirates operates the largest premium cabin capacity among international carriers to and from Bangkok, providing over 870 First and Business Class daily seats on its routes. The extensive premium seat capacity reinforces Emirates’ position as the leading foreign airline for luxury travel to and from Bangkok, driving the expansion of its airport lounge facilities to accommodate the growing number of premium customers.
Enhanced Travel Experience
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, along with exclusive check-in counters. On Emirates’ A380 aircraft, the premium experience includes the airline’s signature Onboard Lounge, private First Class suites, and luxurious Shower Spa.
