Reopen from 27 feb, no more 1000 miles if you are silver and pass through dxb. Good news for silvers and looks like lounge access to to all lounges!!! Maybe I'm reading that mail wrong!

Thank you for your patience and support and we look forward to welcoming you again to our lounges soon.

Just got my email and was about to post the update. Looking forward to next trip as the lounge has been closed since before I got Silver

Same here. Can anyone traveling after 27th of this month have a look at it and let us know. It seems that we will have access to all business class lounges at DXB(With lounge access reinstated and now expanded) What does expanded mean here?

It means not just the lounge in terminal c as used to be the case. Hope they have the numbers right!

I'm flying out on 3rd March - will report back.
At last - and improved access with all three lounges available!

Will be waiting for your feedback. I will report when I fly on March 15.

I am in and out all week. I will let you guys know what the lounges look like. I am anticipating the worst... May have to fly F if it is that bad...

i am sure the dragons wont like this but us poor silvers have something to look forward to in Dubai.... and that too a new lounge! yipee!

I received the e-mail this evening. It is, indeed, good news.
Following the unsupportive comments from some fellow Skywards frequent flyers concerning whether Silvers should have lounge access at all, may I suggest a dedicated new lounge for Platinum in a quieter area of the UAE, like Abu Dhabi!!!!!

I fly through DXB on 1st Mar. Will post my experience at the J lounge in concourse B.

Damn it, I turned Silver yesterday and I was counting on these 1000 miles

No, just kidding. I'll visit that new Silver Lounge in 10 days, as I'm transiting DXB on March 5th... Let's see how is it compared to the noisy Marhaba Lounge.

I (Silver) received the same email today, I am travelling on 28th Feb, SIN-DXB-LGW, but I have only 1hr 50 min connection, so not sure I'll have time to fully enjoy the benefits, but just wanted to take a look anyway.
The missus (Blue) has decided to travel with me on this occasion, both in Y but different PNR.
Now, in a huge risk of upsetting many members on here, that think there are too many 'free loading guests' invading their precious lounge space, I will ask the question - can she come in with me or do I leave her at the door on her own ???

At the door.

Thanks ft101.

Oh well at the door it is, I am sure she will be alright.
I might even take a couple of pics to show her on the DXB-LGW leg
