New Baggage Delivery Service DBX
1st & Business class, gold and silver members bags are now delivered to belts 10. There are armchairs and complimentary Arabic coffee is served. Not sure if the bags are delivered any earlier but it is a nice touch.

You mean the priority baggage delivery at T3? That's been around since the terminal opened. Or do you mean this has also been extended to Silver pax, as AFAIK only premium pax and Skywards Gold receive priority baggage handling. And I think you mean DXB.

This service has only just started for First & Business & Gold & Silver member's. Their bags are delivered to direct to belts 10A/10B. With the old priority tagged system all bags from a flight were deilvered on the same belt. Sometimes the tagged bags were the first on the belt and sometime they were not.

Yes nice touch indeed esp. the coffee and dates. Experienced it last night as i waited for my bags off the EK720. AFAIK it was for Skywards Gold only in addition to F/J pax. Considering we parked on one of the remotest stands on the airfield i only waited 5 mins for the bags to appear.

Premium Baggage no more?? 
The chairs are gone, the coffee man is gone, no EK staff and no bags on 10 or 10a this morning.
Looks like this didnt work some someone behind a desk!

At least they may have a few spare gates at T1 rather than the farcical 20 minute bus ride to the aircraft for some flights! Call me a grumpy old man but I really don’t expect to be herded on to some sort of charabanc when I’ve paid a bl00dy fortune for a 1st or Business class ticket!
