Personally I think 6 months to fully open is stretching it out a bit much and they might accelerate it if all goes well.

I will be in DXB for 4 hours tomorrow morning and will write a detailed picture report of the new terminal. Sadly Im not departing in an A380, but maybe I can get into the lounge anyway.

In Quito, Ecuador, after the baggage claim area; there is an armed police office prior to exiting that area. He checks ALL the baggage stubs issued with your boarding pass against the tags on the claimed baggage to make sure someone doesnt just grab a bag off the luggage carousel and walk off.
If I am not mistaken, that is the only place I have seen that done and I think it is a great idea and think it should be done elsewhere as well.

DAAs official website finally has Concourse A/A Gates airport map online. It's under Terminal 3.
Told them to fix the web page up a little last week because Terminal 3 was actually Concourse B on the webpage, and that they are confusing pax. Now you can clearly see they have Terminal 3 Arrivals/Departures, Concourse A Departures, and Concourse B Departures/Arrivals maps neatly illustrated. Still need Concourse A Arrivals.
