EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT

Review by :

Date :   29 May 2009

A delightful Lounge, with the usual Emirates style. Light years ahead of the situation in 2006, when there was no Emirates Lounge and all that Business passengers were given was a $25 dollar voucher and left to the mercy of a totally inadequate commercial outlet. The lounge is small, but well serviced for drinks, light refreshments, papers, etc. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - DUBAI AIRPORT Terminal 3

Review by : Paul Lawlor

Date :   2 May 2009

My experience was disappointing from the moment I stepped out of the chauffeur transportation that Emirates lays on for Business class check in. There were little or no staff to assist someone who is far more familiar with BAs offering but eventually a 2nd member of staff was able to get the self service machine to work. I expected much from terminal 3 but was going to be disappointed from beginning to end. I have reviewed terminal 2 on this site previously and said it was like a UN refugee camp with people lying on the floor everywhere a nowhere to move. I would describe terminal 3 as a refugee camp run by the Swiss. Still far too packed and difficult to move around as the overpriced duty free is clearly more important than the passengers. After fighting my way through the throngs of people I reached the lounge to find myself at the end of a queue of at least 70 people. It was just awful. I arrived at 6am and can only assume that it must be a very busy time as the lounge was packed people sitting on the floor in places. The lounge is long and thin and on both sides of the terminal (the middle is like an atrium). The good points was that there was a good choice of cooked food but just nowhere to sit. Thankfully I was not in their long.

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - BANGKOK SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT

The lounge is easy to find. A warm welcome from the staff. The lounge isn't large but comfortable, plenty of seats available. Large choice of good hot and cold food, fine drinks, Emirates on this point deserves 5 stars. Choice of newspapers and magazines in different languages, large TV screen, business centre, basically there's nothing missing. Toilets are clean, shower ready for use. There's an announcement for boarding time. Overall a fine lounge, there's only some noise coming from the water fountain, if you seat next to it, but nothing too annoying.

The new lounge fall far short from my last experience in the old terminal. The queues for the toilets was unacceptable. A set of showers and toilets were out of order. Noise levels are very high and you hear every flight being called, not what I expect from a lounge. You can walk for miles until you find a relaxing place. Passenger sleeping every where and taking the whole sofa areas up.

This is a high class lounge. Great calm atmosphere. Comfortable leather seats, excellent service, food and drinks, good internet connection and washrooms.

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - DUBAI AIRPORT Terminal 3

All the elements of a great lounge are there: lots of places to eat, good food and drink, different types of seating environments, showers, business center, laptop power, entertaining diversions, a spa. While there are nice finishes and furniture, the space feels like a gymnasium with kiosks scattered here and there instead of a lounge. It probably aspires to Virgin’s Heathrow Clubhouse, but falls painfully short. Once you get past the confusing crowd at the entrance and walk around once or twice, you can probably find a place to stop that suits you and staff were attentive.

EMIRATES BUSINESS FIRST / CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - SYDNEY AIRPORT

Date :   6 February 2009

Last time I used it I commented that this is how a business class lounge should be. Shame that Emirates didn't think about that when they prepared the new lounge in T3 Dubai. The standards in Sydney were very high, staff are a credit to the airline and I look forward to using it again.

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - DUBAI AIRPORT Terminal 3

Review by : T Walsh

Date :   5 January 2009

I found the new business-class lounge at T3 in Dubai disappointing. Was there from around 7-8 am. Although there is ample provision of seating, these are provided principally as sofas - and when I arrived these sofas were almost entirely occupied by people sleeping on them! Not only does this make the lounge look bad (it looks like some kind of shanty-town where people are sleeping rough), but it means other users of the lounge have nowhere comfortable to sit. Also disappointed that the washrooms do not stock the Kenneth Turner toiletries anymore. Ended up sitting at one of the many, many tables, where at least you could plug in your laptop. However, the wifi is excruciatingly slow - to the point of unusability. Actually, I still prefer the old lounge in T1 - no rough sleepers, it's quiet, the wifi is fast and comfort!
