Hi all!

I am new to this forum, and have been reading it with interest. I am due to fly from MAN to DXB and then onto LHE on the 25th of November 06. I haven't yet tried Emirates, however I have decided to try it on this trip!

Anyway, I need some advice from the more senior flyers here

I have booked an Economy seat (Showing as 'L'? on my ticket)

The flight from MAN is EK020 Leaving 7:50pm (25/11/06) and arriving in DXB at 6.40am (26/11/06)

My connection on to LHE is EK622 at 10.05pm (26/11/06). This is a say 15hr 25m transfer stop. Can I request some accomodation or can I buy myself into one of the better lounges (Diners Club, First/Business) from Emirates.
Has anybody had any experience doing this, either in Diners, First/Business or maybe even the 'Marhaba' lounge?

Can I also ask which the best seats are on these flights (I am 6'2 - or should I get cheeky and ask for an upgrade!)

Hope Emirates works out for me on my first flight with them, you assistance in this is appreciated

Thanks in Advance

Mark
