EK 191 Lisbon - Lounge Access at DXB
I am flying from Muscat to Lisbon on Emirates in J class and have a 3 + 1/2 hour layover at DXB. I have two questions that I am hoping some of you EK regulars maybe able to answer:
1. Am I correct in assuming that EK 191 being a 777-300 ER, always leaves from Concourse B?
2. If this is correct, will I still be able to take the train to Concourse A and use the newer lounge there between flights? is it worth it?
Thanks in advance.

2. Other members have posted that they will let you in at A even if your flight is not from A if you ask nicely. Personally I dont feel its worth it for 3.5 hr layover (unless you are extremely keen to see A). If you arrive at B and the nexy flight is from B its a lot of walking/using the lifts/train to get to A.By the time you clear security and use the train and check into A and settle down, and factoring the trip back as well, you would have lost almost half of the time you could have had in the lounge .
However if your flight into DXB lands at A and the onward flight is from B its not as bad.Or you could hit the jackpot and both flights are from A
