Amen to that, as it provokes me to see a national carrier of another country has an exclusive lounge in my country while my own national carrier shares its lounge with other airlines, not to mention its prices are higher than Emirates

Always cracks me up that at Kuwait there are plenty of passport control counters on exit but one big bottle neck at the pre screening with only one x ray machine for economy and one for bus class. Makes the large number of pport control counters abit redundant!
It is not the best lounge I agree, however, it is worth sitting there waiting for your flight, as it is extremely luxurious and empty (you feel as if you're traveling through a private terminal and not a public one.) I also agree with long queues for screening and passport control and I thought of using NAS services to see if they can escort me through business class screening and passport control to avoid the hassle for a reasonable fee. However, since my flight departs late in a business day, I doubt there would be any queues at all.

What do I get when I upgrade a booking using Skywards Miles?
All the benefits of the class of travel to which you have upgraded. These include extra baggage allowance, lounge access and Chauffeur-drive, where available (Chauffeur-drive service should be requested at least 48 hours before flight departure).
