Suvarnabhumi Airport

Nov 21st, 2024

I was up at4:45 AM to catch my 9:30 AM flight.  Traffic in Bangkok can be crazy, I would rather get to the airport early and sit somewhere.   The Suvarnabhumi Airport is large busy airport and it is also a pretty airport.  My only complaint about the airport is that in a city and country known for their street food, why are all the restaurants chain restaurants?

Luckily I had a lounge pass and since I was headed home on a Star Alliance flight, I could use any Star Alliance flight.  I decided to see who had the nicest lounge, so I stopped off at the Thai Airways lounge, Turkish Airways, the Miracle Lounge followed by EVA lounge.  When I got to the EVA lounge, I remember being in that lounge before.  All of them had nice lounges but EVA’s lounge felt a little cramped with not a lot of food options.

I was flying back from through Haneda, and since we were going east across the international timeline, it would be one very long day.  When I got home, I couldn’t wait for a hot shower and struggled to stay awake while I got back into my time zone.

I am always sad when a vacation ends, I enjoy travelling, trying new foods and seeing new places as well as revisiting places I have seen before.   Overall, it was a great trip but there were a few hiccups along the way.

Me in the ANA lounge!
