Emirates First Class and Business Class Lounge customer reviews

BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE - DUBAI AIRPORT

User:  John Anderson

Date :   11 April 2008

Very busy. Our main complaint is that very many people were taking up two seats, either by making a 'bed' of them or putting some baggage/ laptops etc. on them such that we and others had to stand and struggle with what refreshments we might get - not any chance of resting. No staff seemed to bother. Nobody made any attempt to sort these people out !

Its stuffed 0000hr to 0400hr, but there were plenty of seats when we visited. Warm food, excellent wines and good internet access. Its only needs to last this summer when the new terminal opens. Go for the lounge by gate 20, not the one down the other end which has crude toilets and is more cramped.

BUSINESS CLASS (Varig Executiva) LOUNGE - SAO PAULO GRU AIRPORT

Without doubt the most disgraceful lounge I've ever been in. Quite simply, there are not enough seats, the seats are in blocks of four and joined together, the food is average (wrapped sandwiches, cheese bread), the internet wifi connects but transmits no data, the drink choice is ok (black label JW etc). I walked in and asked if I was in the right place - people look unhappy to be in there and the lights are very bright. I was tempted to walk out after 2 mins and find an airport pub but remembered this airport is not so nice and very crowded. I hope Emirates builds its own lounge in GRU - it is not acceptable to use a facility which resembles a teenager's rumpus room.

I guess it must be entirely dependent on the time of day you hit this lounge. My last two experiences had left me expecting the worst, overcrowding, long queues and so forth. Consequently it was a very pleasant surprise to find that the lounge was half empty, clean, no queues and with well stocked and attended food and drink stations. Staff were swift to clear empty plates and glasses and very pleasant and polite. Given the excellent range of both hot and cold selections for food and drinks the somewhat worn and tired appearance of carpets and seats could be excused. A very pleasant experience overall.

FIRST / BUSINESS CLASS (CIP) LOUNGE - TEHRAN AIRPORT

User:  Chris Walsh

Tehran's new airport (IKA) has one lounge for all premium passengers. Located on the lower level of the airport, the lounge is spacious yet simple. Alcohol is non-existent (this is Iran!) and the food is pre-packaged nuts and dry spam rolls. Juices/water/tea selection excellent. The staff (all male) keep the place running well and there are heaps of magazines/newspapers to read. Not a bad place to hang out late at night when the upstairs common area is overflowing.

FIRST / BUSINESS CLASS LOUNGE - HONG KONG INTL AIRPORT

Very nice lounge with lots of space and nice ambience. Located on the first floor with half walls only that provide an open feeling and a nice overview over the apron. Far better compared to Emirates Dubai C Class Lounge. Only minus - clean but too small rest room / Shower facilities.
