Review: Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport was fairly empty when I was here. It wasn’t hard to look for the lounge as there were many signs that led me to it. Upon entering the lounge, I was told that the staff were only expecting the 2 of us as we are the only ones flying Business Class on the upcoming flight.

The lounge looked very spacious. It felt strange to be the only ones there! Due to the ongoing pandemic, there were transparent screens between seats. There were power sockets near every seat. I did not see any computers for guests to use in the lounge.

Hot food was still being offered but it looked to be scaled down. Alcoholic drinks were still being offered without a limit.

Bottom line

The beef curry was more curry than beef and the packaged pastry did not taste great. It is a difficult time right now and I was not expecting anything more than what I experienced at this lounge.
