In Transit
hello everyone!
I’m going to be stopping over in Dubai (DXB) Terminal 3 on way to India in about 2 weeks.
As I have never been to this airport before and going to be in transit from midnight til 330am what is or isn’t going to be open?
Thanks

Everything will be open and the airport will be very crowded as this is the main transit phase of the day

I'll be passing through DXB T3 around midnight on the 27th/28th. Our transfer time is 1hr 25mins inbound from GLA / outbound to SYD. I'd love to squeeze some time in the Moet lounge but am not sure of the terminal layout and whether we'll have enough time. I've had a look at the terminal map on the Emirates website and I'm none the wiser 
What gates do these services tend to use? I have a hunch that we'll be getting off one and heading straight for the other - especially if it gets a bit frosty in GLA and we're delayed.
Coming back to LHR, I'll have 2hr 05mins so expect to have time to help myself to a glass of fizz on my way home

Like [MENTION=794047]skywardhunter[/MENTION] When short on time I usually head to the champagne bar (into the gates, stay to the right, go all the way to end and make a right), get a glass, and drink it on the way out since it's a good 5 minute walk each direction, and drop off the glass at the exit.

Like [MENTION=794047]skywardhunter[/MENTION] said, if you arrive at a "real gate" in B or very close C you might be able to get a glass in.
