Business Class Lounge Dubai
Flying DXB-ZRH in J class and was wondering what lounge is for LX passengers. I saw the LH lounge is only for LX F guests. Is it the Star Alliance lounge? I tried looking but didn't get any conclusive answers.

I am glad you asked the same question. I will be traveling from DXB-ZRH as well this Sunday in J and was wondering the same thing. On the Swiss website it says that they use the DCAA lounge. However I googled it and did not find anything conclusive about the lounge. For LH the business class passengers use the Merhaba lounge which is also used by SQ and TG so it seems to be a *A lounge in a way.
Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this.

On a second note I have a question regarding Dubai.
Can I print out my boarding pass and go straight to the lounge as I will be traveling without check-in luggage? Does anybody know what time the LX counters open? I guess they will open once at around 7PM for the flight to MCT at 9.30PM but will they close again before the 1.35AM departure on LX?

For LX pax, the following applies;
Dubai
Lufthansa Senator Lounge (*A Gold Lounge)
HON Circle
First Class
Miles & More Senator/Star Alliance Gold
DCAA Lounge
Miles & More Frequent Traveller
Business Class
The DCCA lounge is much better than the Marhaba Lounge that LH sends its J pax to. What a dump.

The advantage of the DCAA lounge over the Merhaba and Lufthansa lounges is that it is much closer to where the LX flight usually leaves from. The LH lounge is by gate 126, the DCAA lounge is around 116 or 112 if I remember correctly. LX leaves form the uneven gates across the hall, typically in the 109-115 range.
There is no Star Allaince lounge. The Lufthansa lounge is the Star Alliance lounge, but it's small so they limited that to F Class, SEN, HON, Star Gold.
You can print your boarding pass for departures from Dubai, no need to pass by the check-in counter.

Thanks San Gottardo!!
I am traveling with a friend who is flying with TG to BKK and I will be leaving later on LX to ZRH. TG are using the Merhaba Lounge like Lufthansa. Is it possible to use that lounge as well with a LX boarding pass in J?

True. But don't hang your hopes too high, even the DCAA lounge is sort of dumpish. Has that very distinct thrid world feeling to it (somber, large worn-out leather sofas, colours are in the beige-glitzy range, not great on windows). But a nice buffet with a large choice, at least in the First Class version of that lounge.

No, the Marhaba lounge is not accessible for LAX888 unless you have Priority Pass or pay cash (not sure of cost but TOTALLY not worth it)
