Or just pay the once off fee of around 45usd... Or go to a restaurant

The last time someone mentioned the lounge at ICN was a few years ago. Wanted to know if there is an update regarding the lounge offering flying on EK F leaving from ICN? Emirates website says Asiana lounge, is that a business or first class lounge?

Sometime last year, it was the OZ F lounge for F pax. I don't think it has changed since then.

No since you could just get a new one. They probably won't let you in until 4hrs before your flight

Interesting question Never heard anyone who has ‘tried’ to be there for over 4 hours and what happened. Not letting you in until 4 hours before boarding is due to start would be the most logical way, but who knows?

I’ve done this in Doha with Qatar airways and never really had any issues.. it’s not like they come check on you.. as long as you don’t do anything stupid you are fine. Just keep in mind you’re in the Middle East and breaking simple rules can get you in a lot of trouble

Based on my own experience upgrading from complementary business class lounge access to F lounge in concourse B, you will be let in 4 hours prior to departure.

As my stopover was 10+ hours I decided just to stay in the business class lounge.

We are doing GRU - DXB followed by DXB - SIN and SIN - MEL all in F.

We have a long layover in the DXB F lounge so wanted to know a bit more about the food offerings so I could plan my meals onboard the first flight a bit better.

Does anyone have recent menus? Also I see there is a buffet type arrangement with sushi etc in the First lounge - is that of good quality?

Thanks!

Here's the most recent F lounge menu I have - only a couple of months old.

Though the buffet food is very good, I always order a la carte. You can also order sushi, sashimi, rolls etc. to be brought to your table.

AFAIK, the menu and general food offering is identical in the F lounges in Concourse A and B. The choice is a bit more limited in the F lounge in Concourse C. Though you're obviously welcome to use any or all of them!

If I fly F to DXB and F from DXB with a 9 hours lay over. I do have only 4 hours in to the lounge? I will visit Dubai for a couple hours, but maybe not long enough.

You can stay in the lounge the entire 9hrs if you want to. 4h restrictions is only if you pay for access
