Lounge experience
I am gold status and fly at least 6 times a year in business class.
I am now seriously considering my options as every time i now go through dubai lounge i cannot manage to go to the toilet unless i join a line for at least 15 minutes and if i want a shower it seems you need to wait up to a hr.
I understand the expansion plans but a little more foresight and maybe adding some additional facilities in short term would of been the right thing to do.
Rant over,lets see what air France/KLM can offer me

Well I haven't used airfrance lounge in Paris recently but KLM in schipol nothing special. The airport and emirates are a victim of their own success but at Least they are opening a new terminal and expanding others just let the problem fester.

The toilets are always an issue in the T3 lounge. Too few of them and too many people trying to use them.Its very bad especially in the mornings.
I've noticed that its a bit better if you keep walking to the end of the lounge.
The situation is made worse by some pax who think that the toilet seat is the lounge.
I was in a queue last week for over 40 min to use the toilet.
The people in the queue could really use only 1 toilet. The other 2 were occupied nearly all the time by two people .obviously they did get the evil eye when they came out.

yeah I know. What the heck are they doing in there.Seems like some want their entire lounge experience to be sat on the toilet.

Right thats it Ive got it, are you listening EK?
Get rid of the citi bank thing at the top of escaltors (I have still never seen anybody in it) and install a load of portaloos, yes you will need to screen it off somewhat and bling them up with chrome this and chrome that.
Now those who feel the need to sit on the bog for the duration of their stay have somewhere to go and thus freeing up the toilets for the rest of us.

Slightly awry. Whilst waiting in T3 Lounge to board EK0007 on Sun, I noticed that every time the exit glass doors on the left opened somebody walked in from the otherside and disappeared. A wonderful toilet and freebee opportunity for "Ys" guys.
