Lounges in DXB

Skywards members finally have a decent lounge in DXB. The past couple of years has been a trial in patience for skywards members as they were either directed to the wrong lounge, or had to deal with the DCA Business Class lounge. From what I gather, the DCA Business Class lounge has been converted into a proper Emirates Business Class lounge, by gate 8, that has all the trimmings of the original Emirates Business Class lounge by gate 22. The food offerings are identical and a new room has been opened with computers. Skywards gold and silver are welcomed to use the gate 8 lounge, but not the gate 22 lounge. Although the gate 22 lounge might be more aesthetically pleasing, the gate 8 lounge is now up to par. The DCA Business Class has moved across the hallway, a little farther down from the DCA First Class lounge. Overall, a nice change for skywards members. Now, if only the Colombo lounge situation would be rectified.
