Interesting comment on this article:
"
Is this a paid ad by DXB? Seems like it. For anyone who has transited through DXB Terminal 1, this post will come across as misleading and outright deceiving. Its a ghetto. Worst than a thrild world airport and the First lounges are a joke - horrible. awful terminal with NO redeeming qualities. They get sites like these to post glossy articles, while the reality is far from it (as with all things Dubai). Ughh place."
After glossing over a few articles written by "TPG Contributor" Lane Nieset I noticed that no photos taken by the author are included. The articles are written in a style of what you'd find in your generic in-flight magazine, Frommers, or Lonely Planet guide, or maybe even a travel brochure.
Either TPG is getting paid to feature certain cities/hotels or he wants to transform his website into a Yahoo Travel style site sprinkled with referral links.
