I recently visited Cathay Pacific's lounge at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) before a Cathay Pacific business class flight from BKK-HKG.
The lounge offers one of the better lounge experiences at the airport, with Cathay Pacific’s signature elements like a tasteful wood paneling design and Noodle Bar
Location
Located in Concourse G on Level 3, the lounge can be a bit challenging to locate due to the airport's expansive layout. After passing through security, follow signs for Concourse G. Upon reaching the area near Gate G1, take the escalator down; the lounge entrance is situated beneath the escalator, adjacent to the Miracle Lounge.
Hours
The lounge operates daily from 5:10 AM until 6:30 PM. These hours align with Cathay Pacific's flight departures.
Access
Access is available to:
- Passengers traveling in First or Business Class on Cathay Pacific or other oneworld airlines.
- oneworld Sapphire and Emerald members, regardless of travel class, with one guest permitted.
- Cathay Pacific's Marco Polo Club Silver, Gold, and Diamond members, with varying guest allowances.
It's worth noting that Priority Pass members do not have access to this lounge.
I had access through my upcoming business class flight on Cathay Pacific from BKK-HKG.
Checking In
Staff at the entrance are professional but warm, quickly scanning boarding passes and welcoming passengers inside.
Impressions Of The Cathay Pacific Lounge at BKK
Despite its small footprint, this lounge feels calm and refined. Cathay’s signature aesthetic—wood paneling, leather finishes, soft lighting, and stone accents—is on full display here, giving the space a boutique hotel vibe rather than a standard business class lounge.
Natural light flows through floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall, offering apron views and a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere.
Layout/Seating
The lounge is thoughtfully divided into distinct areas to cater to various preferences:
Main Seating Area: Features comfortable armchairs and sofas arranged to offer both privacy and openness. Power outlets are discreetly integrated into side tables for convenience.
Noodle Bar: A signature of Cathay Pacific lounges, offering freshly prepared Asian dishes in a cozy setting.
Self-Service Buffet: Provides a small selection of cold dishes, pastries, and beverages, complemented by standing tables for quick dining.
Bar Area: A fully staffed bar serving a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including cocktails and Cathay Pacific's signature drinks.
Amenities
The Cathay Pacific Lounge Bangkok lounge doesn’t offer everything you’d find in Cathay’s flagship spaces like The Pier or The Wing in Hong Kong, but it covers the basics well.
Food & Drink – Noodle Bar Steals the Show
The noodle bar with made-to-order Asian dishes easily steals the spotlight. My bowl of wonton noodle soup arrived piping hot, with firm noodles, plump shrimp dumplings, and a flavorful broth—getting me excited for what I was about to eat in a solid Hong Kong café on my visit. The shrimp siu mai was also excellent: juicy, fresh, and not overly salty.
The buffet offers a variety of cold cuts, salads, pastries, and desserts. While the selection may not be extensive, the quality is commendable.
The bar serves a range of drinks, including cocktails, mocktails, wines, and Cathay Pacific's signature Cathay Delight—a refreshing blend of kiwi, coconut milk, and mint.
