Or I can just stay airside in the lounge through the night and wonder around, enjoy one more meal and two or five glasses. Tough decision to make!
I've done a similar connection earlier this year, arriving in DXB at midnight and connecting to IAH. I didn't bother with Dubai Connect or a room at the airside hotel. Instead, I pretty much stayed up all night, F lounge hopping across A, B, and C, and wandering the entireties of DXB T3. I was trying to tire myself out as much as possible to get a great rest on the flight to IAH (since it basically departs around midnight Texas time).
I also got a 90 minute massage at the timeless spa.
Time went by fast enough, but I definitely am not in a rush to do such a long connection again!
