ikke1959 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Singapore on 6th place??? If there is a luxury airport surely Changi is one of the best.. and CdG in Paris even higher ranked?? Sorry we were there a2 years ago and it was a normal airport. The lounges I don't know as I am just a normal traveler.. So again a fake news item just to feel good and try to solve the bad image of Suvarnabhumi 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroubleandGrumpy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 As the vast majority of Expats know, surveys and reports are written using the money paid for by the contributors. In other words they are 'paid advertising' and we all know it. Very few true independent surveys these days - if any. But Thais dont know that - and this works in Thailand - the Govt and Thai media lap it up. Plus of course the draconian defamation laws here make it impossible to actually criticise any Thai person or company - fairly or not - criticism is illegal. Who can ever forget that UK jopunalist forced to leave after publishing a story about a person/company that was found to be in breach of UN human/employee rights - the factr that the story was true was irrelevent - he was found guilty of defamation. I know SFA Thais know about that story - but they all know not to criticise those in authority or power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdemundo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 "The study focused on the number of lounges in the passenger terminal, designer brand shops, luxury hotels in the area and the availability of champagne and caviar before boarding." None of that is of interest to me, seems like it's for the mega-rich.. What I want is 7-11 or convenience store for stuff like water, wet wipes, mouth wash, snacks, Tylenol etc; that and a coffee stand and I am set. Suvarnabhumi has those so I am happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabradelmar Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The newest list appears to be based primarily on the number of duty free shops. Lounges and preflight champagne... really more an airline dependant thing. The Coral and Miracle lounges at BKK are mediocre at best. Unless seeing travelers sprawled out everywhere, scarfing "free" food is luxury (more like a ghetto). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LALes Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Yeah, the survey is definitely for the Business Class traveller. For the rest of us swine, it sucks. Unless you like overpriced Burger King and Taco Bell, there's not much to choose from at the airport. Its all pretty much low end stuff at ridiculously high prices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdemundo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 "The study focused on the number of lounges in the passenger terminal, designer brand shops, luxury hotels in the area and the availability of champagne and caviar before boarding." Very narrow criteria. Not really a contradiction of the poor ranking previously made public which considered a broader set of factors. This rating is for the world of travellers unknown to the average AN user. (I know, not you Mr. Bigshot, but the average AN member). I mean we have a member that had never heard of caviar? I have never tasted it, but I have known of its disgusting existence since I was a child. I'm gonna go Google champagne now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 4 hours ago, Georgealbert said: This report was only about the high end traveller, not your average passenger. The report states it; “looked at which terminals offered at least 10 lounges, surveyed the number of designer shops available, noted the number of luxury hotels in the area, and checked whether travellers could find perks like Champagne or caviar before boarding.” https://www.travelandleisure.com/dubai-international-airport-most-luxurious-airport-in-world-study-8603681 The same website has a different top ten for it’s “Readers' 10 Favourite International Airports of 2023” https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-international-airports-2023-7551696 I would have thought that Business Travellers were also among the travelling "elite"?
