Hello everyone,

i have just found out that my class of fare does not entitle me to a hotel stay or lounge access.. my itinerary is BHX-DXB-LHE . I land at DXB at 0720 HRS and fly off at 2200 HRS so i could definitely do with some food and rest.

If i upgrade my DXB-LHE ticket to a business class ticket...will i get access to the lounge? and also, upgrading using 12,500 miles or not upgrading and using the Diner's Club lounge (paying the fees....supposedly 55AED) ....which one's the better option?...suggestions, advice, help ....everything/anything welcome
