Is that near the Marhaba lounge? We were in there in December and you could hear lots of drilling and construction noise. That was before some ........s decided to have a Facetime call on an iPad and tell the whole lounge what they'd been doing for the weekend.
It was at that stage that I did the gentlemanly thing, and departed to the F lounge in A, leaving wife and sisters in the Marhaba.

DWC was build to be one of the most biggest airports in the world and after years of operation still don't even handle 1 million passenger per year and a passenger increase by rougly 50,000 is called a "boost"?

I can see IST overtaking DXB, and becoming everything DWC was supposed to be. Dubai has waited to long to make it's move, and it looks like Turkey has taken advantage of Dubai's miss steps.

I have doubts that EK will move there, but I suspect all the other airlines will be "encouraged" to.
