The Best EK Lounge Poll

I only get to see the same old lounges due to my regular shuttles between SIN and MEL and AKL. However, I have been to many others. I really like LHR, BNE, BKK. And FRA. KUL is not great. JFK would be one of the best.

I cant wait until the new concourse is open in 2013 in DXB. Although the secret to DXB now is entering via the small stairway beside Starbucks - that newly renovated section of the lounge feels completely different to the rest of the place.

Be interested to see what others think...what's your favourite lounge in EK network...?

How come the DXB First Lounge is excluded from selection?

That is my favourite one

Otherwise, LGW has a nice lounge and not too busy

How is it elitist? It is EK's Premier lounge , unique in EK network and a strange thing to ignore on a "what is the best lounge"

I won't vote in a rigged election :P

I selected "other" and am posting as suggested - For me the DXB F Lounge without a doubt. As for the rest of the network generally, even though it is usually pretty packed out, I do like the food and other offerings in the CDG lounge best of all - I stock up on my EK toothpicks there which I have not found in any other of their lounges.

I find the outstation lounges are all too similar (except perhaps in capacity and cuisine) and that they are all generally a bit dated instead of looking swanky. Service however is excellent. Difficult, then, to choose a favorite, but perhaps SIN just because I'm there most often.

Only been to JFK and DXB and I would choose JFK - though DXB would be my first choice better if it was less crowded, I guess.

In any case, as a student it will be rare for me to fly anything other than Y.

EK's Dubai lounge in F is average. Main J lounge (horrible) ..........

Some of their other lounges are overall a better experience. JNB is very good. JFK is good. Munich is very good also. So too the Heathrow lounge.........
