Hmmm.... will that be the first lounge outside DXB with separate J & F sections?

Separate J and F sections don't make much sense to me... In PRG and MLE the contract lounges have reserved seating areas for EK F but this makes sense as seating is in shorter supply.
The only tangible difference between the J and F lounges in DXB is the food offering which is unlikely to be extended to outstations (contrary opinions welcome). I guess the extended Spa options are of interest to some, but again that will not be brought to GLA.
The beverage selection in the F lounge does need to be differentiated from J.

Much shorter walk to the gate than from the Skylounge.

After you walk along the corridor to the left of the Beardmore you come to a right angled turn to take you to the gates. As you turn the corner there is a kiddies play area. The lounge is supposed to be around this area.

Interesting to see mention of a 3rd daily - does anyone know what the loads are like on the GLA route, esp with the 2nd one being recently added. I can imagine it will be busy up till the Commonwealth Games in summer but beyond this - i've been on this specific route a couple of times and usually on the way back had a few seats to myself in Economy - in fact, the back cabin has been literally so empty at times its a little crazy.
Perhaps just my luck on those few trips but whats the actual status of the route in terms of occupancy?
