Do you still get the choice of restaurants? Last time I was at Le Meridien on STPC I could use any of the on-site restaurants, and choose 3 courses from the menu that were annotated with a plane. Bad mistake having a very spicy Thai the evening before a 08:00 flight to SGN!

Has anyone who has used the Dubai Connect service been able to get an in-terminal hotel? When I spoke to a phone rep, she told me to go the DC desk and tell them what we want, but everything else I've read indicates that they pick the hotel for you. (We are flying F and J, if that matters)

I am exactly in the same situation. I feel my time is better utilized in the FC lounge so that is where I shall be.

There is presently no wording on the Dubai Connect page that says the service is for revenue tickets only.
I have an upcoming Skywards ticket with a long layover (still under 24 hours) where I would have been able to take an earlier flight truncating my time in Dubai to only 4 hours.
I managed to fill in the form and they have "saved" my info. Now lets see what happens next when I head to the airport in a couple of weeks for the vouchers

Scroll down. You should see the Dubai Connect link here under a section called "Special Complimentary Benefits."
At least, I can see it on my page...

I am also trying to book Dubai Connect. My layover is 25 hours and 10 minutes, which is under the 26 hour layover limit. It is a F award booking. Oddly, I do not see a section "Special Complimentary Benefits" when going to Manage My Booking, just all the marketing boxes to buy add-ons like insurance, Dubai Experience, Hotels, Car Hire, and Tours. Does Special Complimentary Benefits show up right after "Your Itinerary"?
