new airport

[surangw]

Anyone recently traveled out of the new Phuket airport on Dragon air? do they have their own lounge?

I guess you talk about the new terminal for international flights.

Never saw a Dragon Air lounge there. Only the 2 Coral lounges and TG lounge are at the new terminal but many airlines use the Coral lounges. Maybe Dragon also do.

Cathay use the Coral lounge. Presumably their offshoot, Dragon, would use the same.

The Coral Business Class Lounge and First Class Lounges are essentially the same. The only difference is there will be less people in the first class lounge.

 

As far as I know all airlines aside from Thai Airways use that lounge.

 

The Thai Airways lounge is a bit odd as it sits right on the terminal level in the open.

 

Do not get your hopes up, Coral lounges serve fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and whatever you would call a salad.

 

The only bonus is you still get escorted from the check-in counter through Immigration/security.

All correct except the thai lounge. They opened a lounge next to the coral business lounge.

But like the coral nothing special and small like a hen box.

Ah ok they moved it. 

 

Nonetheless, You can't complain about getting a personal escort through security/immigration. One of the perks of living in SE Asia.

 

If you want the same treatment in the USA, just ask. I will tell you how to pass through security in seconds :)
