Hi all,

I have a flight from Dubai next month and was just wondering what lounge options I have?

It's a business trip and I am flying on Economy (was hoping to be able to upgrade with miles but my fair class doesn't allow it) so there isn't any chance of getting complimentary lounge access.

I my flight is at 1:55am so I need somewhere quiet to sit down between around 9:30pm and the flight and probably get something light to eat.

No point going for the hotel as it is only around 4 hours I need to burn.

I can see three lounges that are a possibility in T1.

The Marhaba Lounge, which appears to be quite busy for £25 for 4 hrs

The Dubai International Business Class Lounge for £35 for 5 hrs

The Dubai International Hotel First Class Lounge, not sure how much this one costs and whether it is exclusive to those traveling first class?

Has anybody used any of these three and have any suggestions?

Main priority is getting somewhere that isn't that busy and I can sit down and get a bit of work done, I have heard some of these places can be just as busy as the airport itself and not really worth the money.

Also this might be the deal-breaker, how soon before the flight can I check in for BA, I will print the boarding pass earlier in the day but I will need to check luggage in.

Thanks in advance!
