In the CMB lounge as we speak. Very new and very nice. Great view of 7 of the Aerobridges (including the EK plane tonight). Food looks very nice and desserts great. Selection of spirits its nice, everybody greeted me but I wasnt sure of the etiquette when it came to drinks. I just helped myself to a beer from the fridge as the nice gentleman chatted away to me. Great big TV showing CNN. A business centre and prayer room.

Biggest surprise is that about an hour and a half before the flight to DXB there are only 2 people in the lounge and that includes me.
