Lounge Access DXB
 
Hi there,

I will be travelling from HKG to MUC via DXB, I'll become EK Silver with this trip.
Now the question is, if I (as a Business-Class PAX, becoming EK Silver) am able to convince the Lounge-Worker to let enter me AND my Brother (same flight but Y) to the lounge in DXB?
What do you think? Is there a chance? :confused:

Next to none !

Probably not, especially since you won't actually be Silver till you get to MUC. No harm trying though.

Can you take a guest as a Silver these days? I know they stopped in a few years ago.

Did they reintroduce it once T3 opened?

Cheers,
Rick

No, not possible. I remember reading some of the old threads where they said it was a temporary measure till T3 opened, but obviously that never happened. And with the Silver lounge being all the way in T1, it doesn't even make sense going and trying your luck, and then walking all the way back if unsuccessful.

Yes and you can also enter the one in T1 (what they call now the Skywards Lounge).

ahh I can ALSO enter the lounge from T1.. now it starts to make sense :cool:
i allways read about T1-lounge (which I do not want to enter) ans thought that the lounge at T3 is nat available for me. thank you!

Thats true for gold passengers traveling in Gold.

As a J passenger you are certainly free to use any biz lounge.

BUT...if you are travelling economy you can not get access to the lounge (only gold members can).

T 1 lounge is better if you want to try and have a sleep if its a long stopover, but the food selection is a lot better in T3 lounge.

I tried to get my GF in to the T1 lounge when i was silver and it was a NO, So she had to sit outside untill i got a shower and a bite to eat and it was a rush job at that, not enjoyable when your travelling with someone.

Silver members can - but only in DXB and only the lounge in T1!
