CPT-DXB-MAD J Seat / Lounge Questions
Greetings,
Apologies for all the questions, but couldn't find any updated info.
Flying J CPT-DXB-MAD return in December.
1. Looks like the best seats on the 773ER (flying solo) are the forward mini-cabin aisle side of the middle set of 3 seats? (6/7 F/J I believe?).
2. Return DXB-CPT seems to be on A345 - any worries there?
3. EK itin says we arrive/depart from MAD T4. Can I access the lounge on arrival (connecting on separate Y ticket at MAD, but will have quite a few hours to kill).
Any other tips to make the most of my first EK flight/lounge experience is appreciated!
Thanks!

2- Yes, these aren't lie flat, but deeply reclining. Hopefully you aren't planning to sleep.
3- Arrival lounge access is usually not allowed, and I don't think EK has their own lounge, so unlikely. They might make an exception under certain circumstances (eg LH let me use a 3rd party lounge on arrival when I asked them because I had a long connection, but was flying F)
Hope that helps.
