We are flying in August and our return we have splurged on business from Male back through to Manchester. We have 2hrs 20 mins stop although I would imagine this to get down to around 1hr 30 in the lounge?! I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this limited timings or know how far the gates for the two flights will be that kind of thing.
is there a must do in the lounge and how/ where will I find it?
thanks

Hi Natalie, welcome to the EK forum!
It's a bit difficult to answer your question as there is no way to predict where your Male flight will arrive or where the Manchester one will depart from. All Emirates flights will leave from 'terminal 3', which on the airside consists of 3 'concourses', A, B and C. You can arrive / depart at / from any of these three. After arrival, you will go through 'transfer security' (when flying in business class there is a fast track for that) then you look up the departure gate on any of the numerous displays and make your way to the correct concourse. There is a business class lounge in each concourse and although you are entitled to use any of these, I would strongly suggest you go to the one in the concourse you depart from, especially considering a shortish transfer.. Signage is excellent and it is all very easy (in spite of DXB being a very large and busy airport). Each lounge has several eating / drinking options. Enjoy!
