I also just read a review that the Business Class Lounge is SLAMMED during the late night/ early morning hours due to a lot of arriving and connecting flights. That would be the exact time we would be arriving with that 8 hour connection. The review I read suggested paying the $150+ to experience a practically empty Al Safwa.
