From how long before the departing flight on TG F can the lounge be accessed?
anytime from when it opens

Officially only departing first class passengers. Unofficially I guess you can try your luck
Nope.
FT says "TG F Arrival connecting to international TG C/Y = FCL access"

Are they wrong?

Nope; seems I am.

Seems I misinterpreted their website, which says:

Quote
Royal First Class passengers departing the same day on TG operating flight

I presumed from the above that one had to be a departing Royal First Class pax, not just any Royal First Class pax.

I think I was confusing with F spa access, which you won't get; only C spa access.

I had ksml from Chabad Thailand on EK DXB-AMM. Was horrendous. Not sure if its the same for the lounge but if you find out that it is dont bother.

Did you even try it? I think the smell and the looks turned you down from even trying.

Based on the quality (or lack thereof) of the meal in FCT (read: KSML), I've been in TG F lounge half a dozen times and never asked.

I'm happy with the drinks.

I have to disagree. The Bangkok KSML on EK AMM-DXB and DXB-DFW was pretty decent.

Solid point :)

I had very bad experience with the EK F DXB-AMN KSML from Bangkok.

Was probably the worst KSML I've ever seen
(looked so bad i couldn't even taste it, and i was hungry, and I'm not picky)

I had that on QF in F DXB - LHR. The steward was so embarrassed when she came around to take the untouched fish she apologized and the cabin manager came around to apologize also.

This is how it went down... Flight full of Palestinians & Jordanians.. DXB-AMM on EK.
Stewardess calls out "who ordered a kosher meal" I stay quiet.. Everyone is looking at everyone.... Calls out again... I wasnt about to claim a kosher meal in public.. ( I Didn't look too Jewish).

After a few minutes she comes back & says oh its yours... Everyone was staring...

Here also. The Chabad ksml I got on BKK-TLV with LY was likely one of the best i ever had
