7. THAI FIRST CLASS LOUNGE BANGKOK (BKK) Thai is another airline that does a great job taking care of you every step of the way at the airport. They’ll pick you up at your arriving flight and take you to your departing flight later (typically by buggy).The lounge has several semi- private living rooms for passengers to use, with more privacy than you’ll get in most lounges. There’s also lots of a la carte food, though I don’t think it’s quite to the level of what you’ll find in some other lounges.
9. EMIRATES FIRST CLASS LOUNGE DUBAI (DXB) The Emirates First Class Lounge Dubai is more of a concourse than a lounge. That’s because the lounge literally spans the entire length of the terminal. On one hand that’s crazy impressive. You have a lounge that’s tens of thousands of square feet, and at times there will only be a few guests.
8. ETIHAD FIRST CLASS LOUNGE ABU DHABI (AUH) The lounge is well designed, with a restaurant, gym (which none of the other lounges have), a spa, etc. The food in the lounge is pretty good, though the airline has definitely cut back on catering since opening the lounge.
Whoever came out with the thought that life was about the journey and not the destination was definitely onto something. Here we rounded up what we think has the best airport lounge.

11. OMAN AIR FIRST CLASS LOUNGE MUSCAT (MCT) A couple of years ago Oman Air opened a beautiful first class lounge at Muscat Airport. Long term the airline will have only two planes with first class, so it’s quite impressive that the lounge is so huge.
10. SINGAPORE AIRLINES PRIVATE ROOM SINGAPORE (SIN) The Private Room is a lounge within a lounge within a lounge. While it doesn’t have amenities like nap rooms, spa treatments, or offer escorts to/from the gate, it features a great restaurant with a la carte dining (including the ability to customize dishes), and an all-around very elegant atmosphere with refined service.
