Also I could go to Vienna (a city I love) for 3795aed to get me 6k TPs (sadly that one's only in the back of the bus but a weekend in Vienna doesn't sound too bad!
COK does not have a dedicated EK lounge. The shared lounge used to be initially landside
and then moved airside(after complaints by pax)
The so called move airside was even worse as the 'lounge' was just a part of the normal airport area with a few tensa barriers to create the lounge!!!.
Havent flown EK from COK since 2012 but AFAIK there is still no EK lounge or chauffeur drive at COK. I do sometimes fly into COK from DXB though and the immigration queue can be a mess at peak times. I usually fly to DEL and then go to COK or sometimes fly into COK from DXB and fly back from DEL.
