Suvarnabhumi Priority Lane For Seniors

[jackspratt]

For all you old buggars like me, today I discovered a handy tip when departing international.

If you are over 70, you are able to utilise the priority departure lane, mixing it with the 1st class hoi poloi, venal politicians and wannabe civil servants.

Instead of heading upstairs on the escalator to security, and then downstairs again to immigration, just head to the far end of the outwards hall, and look for Lane 3. It is clearly signedposted as Priority.

Having been through that, I am currently suffering in the JAL lounge due to a late departure because of shiitty weather at Swampy.

Thanks for the tip. Let us know if there are one of those on your return to Thailand. Enjoy the baseball, the hot dogs and the hamburgers.

Thanks Uncle.

There's a big, scary New York awaiting me in 24 hours.

If you're lucky the New York flight will be diverted to Toronto and you can watch the Argonauts (football), the Varsity Blues (football), Toronto F.C. (soccer) and the Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay. Furthermore, you can meet me at the Varsity game.

Another handy hint which is probably common sense for most people!

If you have Lounge access via Priority Pass/Dragon Pass etc, dont just head to the generic Miracle Lounge. Dont know why but, I've always done this. - probably because, as an Etihad frequent flyer I'm pointed in this direction. Earlier this week I decided to be adventurous and use the Air France/KLM one. The difference was huge.

Seating aplenty and much improved food/drinks selection.

Got to test this out last evening, which was very timely, as I was on quite a tight transit from my Uodn flight to my Perth flight at Swampy.

It worked like a charm - in fact it was so efficient I had enough spare time to slam down a couple of pints of Federbrau in the Miracle Lounge as I made the trek to my departure gate.

Was that the midnight flight to Two Rocks?

Say hello to the Aardvark after you reach Perth. Yes, it's true he is a sociopath, whatever that is.

If the Aardvark wants to PM me, I would enjoy to catch up with him.

It says "Long stay" qualifies. What's that?

You will get many answers to this question, but based on Thai Embassy web site long stay is someone on a O-A or O-X visa.

Good clarification, thanks. Now, back to the conga line.
