Thanks for another great read KF ^

Naturally this isn't good when you're about to misconnect. Today the transit was about 90 minutes arrival to push back (or about 30 minutes from reaching transit security until reboarding) so I wasn't worried about misconnecting, but a slow response from security could significantly eat into lounge enjoyment time. Fortunately the station was manned, and thanks to my usual speedy walk I was first there.
Might be because EK407 is a through-flight with a number of pax transiting, whereas most international flights turnaround in MEL?
