Last I was there there was still construction work between the main lounge area and the champagne bar area, as you cross the little bridge over the main terminal area below. They may have finished it now, though, but it was still ongoing after Silvers were allowed back in for sure.

Flying EK F for the 1st time, not sure where my 777 flight to SEA will be departing from.
I'd like to experience the best F lounge (will be flying with my 4yo son) - which do you recommend?

If your layover time allows and you are departing from Concourse C, then you might consider using the Concourse B lounge before heading over, as the kitchen in C has a reduced a la carte menu.

Travelling with your 4 year old son, I would just use the lounge in your departure concourse.

Do both F lounges in A and B offer the spa and salon?
Do both feature kids' area as well as al-a-carte dining?

Thanks - I'm allowing plenty of time for lounge visits, as I'd like to maximize the F lounge experience. My son is game - he love flying, and should enjoy a fun lounge visits.

B has a more intimate style, but a much smaller spa facility.
Both have identical menus, except that B has a sushi chef (although it is available pre-prepared in A). Kids play areas in A and B.
C has no spa and a reduced menu, but is also quite cozy, but no kids area.

HYD has 3 daily and no lounge... I think it depends on the space available at the airport and cost of establishing and operating such a lounge. They opened one in Cape Town earlier this year which had 2 daily but recently added a 3rd daily.
