Late evening meal at the Conrad EL
check out about 2245
get to the airport around 2330
snack in the lounge ( hopefully the BA lounge will reopen before then)
Change into my BA F sleep suit after takeoff
Skip the first meal.
Regards

Assuming this is the Conrad at WTC (I think there is still only one Conrad in Dubai, although there was one planned for the Palm), it's max 15 mins in a taxi (probably less) from DXB T1 at that time of night, you could probably leave a bit later from the hotel if you wanted.

QQ, it was mentioned that the lounge gets quieter once the TK flight departs - what sort of time is that? My flight is Tuesday if that makes any difference to schedules...
For the next few weeks at least, that TK flight DXB-IST is scheduled for 02:40 departure. When I was in the lounge a few weeks ago it was almost empty around 23:30, was filling up more when we left it around 00:30 (BA106 was departing 01:15 at that time, don't know about TK), but by no means packed. I guess TK pax would head out of the lounge between 01:45-02:15.
