Thanks for the reply.

Not so worried about time to sleep. The shower (happy to pay) and food would be nice.

More worried about how long it takes to actually get through security checks at Dubai and if they could make it to the lounge and have time to shower and eat given there is only a 2hr 15 connection time?

Is it likely to be more stressful rushing through the airport to get to the lounge then out to the connection gate rather then just heading straight to the gate and having a cleanup in the toilets?

Sorry, not a frequent flyer and have no idea of what to expect at Dubai.

2hrs 15 sounds a lot of time but i know from previous flights a lot of that time can be eaten up actually getting off the plane and moving through transit area.

Thanks again
