Thanks.
Ahlan is better then Marhaba for arrival service. Especially if you check luggage. I don't use any service when flying EK as its not needed but I fly LH quite often as well. I've always used Marhaba when arriving on LH (since my IO status counts for nothing when flying LH F and they pay for Marhaba if flying F). However, flew into DXB a few days ago on LH and on a whim booked Ahlan to try it.....was very impressed by the arrival lounge where you wait while they retrieve your luggage, and since Ahlan is owned by Dubai Airports they have a private immigration (as opposed to Marhaba which uses the very fast VIP line) but that can still get a little backed up. Gotta say. Was very impressed w Ahlan (similar to the Al Maha service in Doha)
