Morning,

Flying into DXB In just over a month's time for a short break and have a question.

I'm sure I read somewhere (but can't remember where) that if you have an HSBC Premier account, you can gain access to the Maharaba Lounge at DXB departures. Can anyone confirm this and if so, is access gained by producing a debit or credit card?

If the whole HSBC thing isn't correct, that's fine but we're unsure if we should bother paying for lounge access. Our flight back to LGW leaves around 3am so somewhere reasonably quiet for some food/drink would be nice.

Thoughts & advice from experienced flyers from DXB would be really welcome, thank you :-)

Edited to add we are flying EK (in Y) if that makes a difference
