Today I chose to fly with Thai Airways at Pudong Airport in China. #Shanghai Pudong Airport is clean, convenient, and spacious. It is not crowded when leaving the airport.

China Eastern lounge This time, I had the opportunity to use the lounge at Shanghai airport because I am a diamond level Tip Dot Com customer who has the right to enter the lounge for free 2 times a year. This time, I traveled to Shanghai, so I took the opportunity to use the right to enter the China Eastern lounge. It was quite good. There was a complete range of food, both noodles and steamed buns, but most of it was Chinese food. There were a lot of alcoholic drinks, both beer, liquor and wine. There was also a shower room for those who were tired from traveling. It is located in Terminal 1 of Shanghai Airport. If anyone is a high-level Trip Dot Com member who has the right to enter the lounge for free and has come to visit Shanghai, I recommend using the right to enter the lounge here. It is a very good place. #lounge #chinaeastern #airport lounge #trip.com privileges #get a discount without relying on luck
