I paid my $100 to upgrade to the F lounge
So...I threw caution to the wind and last week paid $100 to upgrade to the B concourse F lounge. I enjoyed the fact that it was much quieter than the J lounge (maybe 5% full at most), made the most of the waiter service dining, and got a free shoeshine. Would I do it again? Maybe to escape an over-full J lounge, but not otherwise.

The F lounge in concourse B has always been my favorite because it is so different from any of the other EK lounges. And a worthy upgrade when you compare it to the "zoo" that the J lounge in B is. The F lounge in A is just a less crowded version of the J lounge in A.
