But if you're not at Concourse A, it is a hassle. Immigration queues if you choose to leave DXB are painfully slow and long, despite Fast Track.

Though the lounges may not all be as good, I would much rather transfer at SIN, BKK, MUC, ZRH, AUH etc than DXB.
Have entered DXB five or six times this year at different times. The longest I had to queue was 10 min. I did have fast track and might have just been lucky.
