Cathay Pacific Airways is opening a new lounge for passengers travelling out of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport from 9 June 2015. Located at Level 3 in the Concourse G Departure Hall, the Bangkok lounge adopts the airline's new lounge design template that has already been employed at Cathay Pacific lounges in Haneda Airport in Tokyo and Manila. The Bangkok lounge measures 679 square metres, which is much larger than the previous lounge, with seating for approximately 140 people. The new facility offers a comfortable environment, with an emphasis on understated luxury, where First and Business Class passengers can relax before their flight. Designed by Studioilse, engaging the senses and focusing on wellbeing as a core principle. This has been achieved by working with warm, natural materials like wood and Lots of plants add colour to the space while specially sourced artworks reflect the local culture. The overall feeling of the lounge is of a domestic space, more like a living room than an airline lounge. Natural sunlight filters through the windows. Designer furniture and lighting have been carefully selected for practicality and comfort. Bespoke chairs and side tables with in-built lamps and sockets are placed by the windows where passengers can enjoy the view of the airport runway and beyond. The Bureau provides three individual workstations with dual operating system iMacs and printers. Free Wi-Fi access is also available throughout the lounge. With a greater focus on food and beverage services, the dining area features Cathay Pacific's signature The Noodle Bar, a popular attraction in the airline's world-renowned lounges at Hong Kong International Airport, which offers a selection of Asian noodles including wonton noodle soup and tom yam soup, freshly prepared by a chef.
