[QUOTE=Yahillwe;16003298]I am one of the most flexible and undemanding people, and yes I am always on a training regime, but mostly I do have a very sensitive nose and some smells bother me quite a bit, they make me sneeze. That is why in Dubai I use the lounge immediately.

Nicely put and touche :-)

I think you are the victim of the fact that the T3 business class lounge is just a zoo, as you yourself noticed. Whereas the F lounge is a glorious oasis of calm. The only way they can preserve that F oasis is by severely restricting who may enter, as you found, and that means following the rules to the letter.
