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

Review by : Mark Baughman

Date :   7 February 2009

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.

Disappointing all round. Although there were no queues to get in and plenty of seats the lounge itself is soulless and very boring. The showers had very poor water pressure and on the day I visited, 50% were out of order. The food and beverages were good and T3 was a vast improvement on the previous terminals at the airport.

EMIRATES BUSINESS FIRST / CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - SYDNEY AIRPORT

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!

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - DUBAI AIRPORT Terminal 3

Review by : Fred Mack

Date :   31 December 2008

New T3 Business Lounge is huge but already overcrowded - long queues to get in - took over 10 min to find seats (uncomfortable and in a passageway). Queues at ALL toilets. Catering is good but service slow - similarly with refreshments. The area is so big it's difficult to find your way about and to find the exits. Bigger but no better than the old T1 lounges. Used Emirates T1 Business lounge 2 weeks earlier (after some flights transfered to T3) - it was quiet and wonderful.

Review by : Mahul Shah

Date :   8 November 2008

The new lounge feels like walking through an airport and not a lounge. It is not intimate, nor does it feel warm. However it is a huge improvement on Terminal 1. There is a restaurant with a full menu, spa with limited but good treatments, and showers (very small cubicles). Several bars. Lots of seating areas, some flat screen TV's, and a Business Centre. Free wifi throughout the lounge.

EMIRATES FIRST/BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE REVIEW  - JOHANNESBURG AIRPORT T5

Review by : Ian Sinclair

Date :   2 September 2008

Lounge was not dedicated to Emirates, rather used by many airlines. Dirty, overcrowded and the restrooms were not clean. Ran out of glasses and when requested, was met by surly, miserable staff who reluctantly found a few more glasses after about an hour. Extremely poor show, Emirates need to look at this provider and determine whether or not it reflects the image of the airline.
