I have a long layover in Abu Dhabi. Do you think there is any chance they will let me use the lounge in AD, as the entire flight is going to take me into Silver anyway?

Thanks
This is a classic case of "if you don't ask you will not get". Based on what I have read and heard you do have a chance and it is definitely worth a go even if it is not guaranteed - ask at check in and then again at the lounge if you fail at check in. Good luck and please let us know how you get on.
