Greetings from the F lounge at DXB! Just did the STPC at the Le Meridien, and very nice it was too.

I had to collect the vouchers from the Emirates offices in Cairo, but that wasn't a problem - the driver knew where it was, so it only took a few minutes.

Landed from CAI at 23:30, got my luggage, chauffer to the hotel, and in my room by 00:15. Room was average size, but had a plasma TV and a DVD player.

Got picked up at 8:15, and was in the lounge by 8:30

Emirates use the Le Meridien for F & J classes, and the Millennium for Y class.

Next stop CHC.

Cheers,
Rick
