HOW EARLY TO AUH for LOUNGE // CHAUFFEUR
Hi,
We have an upcoming flight from AUH to SYD travelling first apartment. I was hoping someone may be able to advise if there are any restrictions as to what time before the flight we can access the lounge and also book the chauffeur.
Our flight is at 9.55pm and we hope to get a late checkout from the AUH Hilton. I have diamond status so was hoping for 2pm or later. I don't really want to book an extra night at the hotel if I can have a few extra hours in the lounge.
Thanks.

No restrictions, as long as they are open you can access it, due to time constraints and other obligations we were there 6 hours prior to our flight last week. Get an extended massage, sit down dinner, take a shower and drink a fair amount and the time will move a little quicker.

Thanks for the replies.
We are travelling in April so will miss out on the new First lounge. I think I will try for a 5-6pm hotel check out.

We are just back from a trip to SYD, via AUH, we had a stopover at the Hilton Grand, I am also Diamond but the latest we could check out was 12 noon, we left our bags with the concierge and used the free hotel shuttle bus to visit Yas Island, Ferrari World, and the Mall, returning to the hotel for just after 5pm, we had arranged our chauffer for 6pm and were checked into the lounge for 6:30.
