Its probably the best J lounge in the world

For a J lounge, it is very good - but compared to some F lounges, no chance.

Didn't the current TK business lounge used to be the TK F lounge?

I can't say I've found a J lounge that tops it. Good food selection and multiple stations for it. Large. Quiet. Multiple areas. Kids rooms, many TVs. Lots to like.

Far from it - Champagne? Non existent! Decent wine? Non existent!

Different strokes hey CE? I don't drink much/at all in lounges so i prioritise decent food and a nice space.

Are there many J lounges with NV champagne?

EK has champagne

EK has champagne

And CX. And SQ?

SQ had Bolly last visit

So does MH

Will have to look harder next time I'm in the SQ lounge. Didn't see much last few times.

I loved the food, the wine was nothing to write home about. With all the toys it's a playground for grown ups.

Casey neistat is used to using the Admirals lounges.. Any lounge is impressive compared them

As I said earlier, very good J lounge.

It has to be the most impressive J lounge in the world. There is so much to do there and such a good verity of food. I've only got to visit a few times and all were short visits. I would love to spend 4-5 hours there.

Have we already decided or is beauty in the eye of the beholder?

In my opinion it is the best J lounge - the fresh cooked chicken and beef, the 12+ different type of olives, the various deserts, the lively places and the quite places... The VA lounge in London and QF F lounge in Sydney are the lounges I rate above it. I like the private rooms in TG BKK lounge though, got one for 8 hours to rest.

Really? Really? Did you run this past your lovely lady friend before posting this? Or are you desiring solo attendance?

TBH I readily admit huge variety of food - but quality? Seriously it is only airport lounge food. Variety of activities to keep you occupied? Multiple - but I gotta tell you I have much better things to do than waste time playing pool or whatever in an airport lounge.

Now did I mention that there is no Champagne or no decent wine on offer in this lounge? It's big - it's impressive - but as a place to spend a period before flying in F or J and enjoying a quality drink or 2 prior to boarding - no better than many others (IMHO of course)

In my opinion it is the best J lounge ...

... The VA lounge in London and QF F lounge in Sydney are the lounges I rate above it.

Confused! The Virgin Lounge in London is a business class lounge... if it's better than the TK lounge, that means the TK lounge is not the best?
