If you have no baggage, you can be out of the airport in 20 mins.
The BA lounge is nothing special, no F section and not worth dashing back to the airport to spend much time in, you'll be better off in town !
Just make sure that your bag is checked through and you should be ale to get the BA boarding pass from CX as well.
oh and you dont need a visa for Dubai, not even a landing card to fill in these days, just hand over your passport at the counter. Very easy, they may ask how long you are staying, but rarely ask to see ticket.
Thanks GK. I was wondering about the Visa situation. Ive talked to others who say they have been charged a certain fee in Dirhams but that may not be for transit.
One question...is there bag storage at Dubai? Im somewhat reluctant to check my bag.
