Lounge Review: The Coral First Class Lounge (Phuket International Airport)

in ,

When I flew back from Phuket to Singapore on SilkAir, I noticed that the terminal building was different from the one that I was in back in 2015 when I visited the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort. Apparently, this relatively new terminal building at the Phuket International Airport was only completed back in 2016 - capacity is estimated to be at five million passengers per year. While looking for access to The Coral First Class Lounge, I realised that the The Coral Executive Lounge also provided a First Class VIP Departure Fast Track Service that I took the opportunity to check out during my visit.

in

Using Chope is a great way to secure restaurant reservations in Singapore as well as major cities nearby like Bali, Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Phuket and Shanghai. I have written about the opportunity to stack promotions on Mileslife and eligible credit cards previously and even though Chope has always allowed you to redeem Chope-Dollars for free restaurant vouchers or Chope Gift Cards, it has only added the option to redeem your Chope-Dollars for KrisFlyer miles from 10 November 2017.

Trip Report: Singapore Airlines SQ802 Suites A380-800 - SIN to PEK (Singapore to Beijing)

in

It has been slightly under a year since my last flight on Singapore Airlines' famous Suites and having seen the new A380 Suites (which will be debuting on 18 December 2017), I wanted to make sure that I had at least one more experience in the current Suites (which I personally prefer, in terms of the way it looks) before the existing A380s get retrofitted with the new cabin products by the end of 2020. I arranged for the limousine to drop me off at the First Class Check-in Reception of Terminal 3 where I was quickly greeted by a porter (who proceeded to take my luggage) before being ushered to the check-in desk where my boarding passes were printed and handed over to me alongside the famous golden ticket (an invitation to The Private Room). There is no reason to stay any longer at the First Class Check-in Reception and so I went through a private immigration area to quickly find myself near the SilverKris Lounge in Terminal 3.
