I've got an 8 hour stopover as well, and I'm flying Economy from Dar-es-salaam to Dubai and Business from Dubai to London. There is no availability in the earlier connection, hence the reason I'm having to do the 8 hour stopover. Am I entitled to free accommodation and/or meals during my stopover?
I know I'll have access to the business class lounge in Dubai, but I've never been a fan of the food they serve therein, and I'm not sure if the new lounge have any reclined seats that one can lie down on. Some ideas would be most appreciated!
