Hi All
I leave tomorrow on my first EK flight- I am flying in J from SFO to DXB and then my connection to MAA in F (my AMEX points transfer got me the upgrade).

I land at 7:25 PM and leave at 2:50 AM. Curious, how you would all spend that time? I want to start regulating to the 12.5 hour time difference as soon as I can.

Would you visit both lounges (I assume I have access to the First Class lounge)? Explore the airport to move a bit? Are the massages a great experience? Do you need cash for gratuities?

the EK forum has been super helpful. thank you!
