100min enough time to transit and visit lounge?
Hi All,
I have a 100min connection time in DXB from an international flight to another international flight. Is this enough time to include a lounge visit? If so, how long would you estimate I would have in a lounge? I’m asking because if I was to get at least 30min then I would go for some food and drink but otherwise I wouldn’t bother and just head straight to my departing gate.

I’ve gone to the lounge loads of times with a connection shorter than that for food but the obvious answer is it depends if you arrive on time… also factor in which concourse you arrive at and which concourse you are departing from, how long the walk to security is, how long it takes to get through security… are you going to a J lounge or are you going to an F lounge and ordering a La carte and finally how comfortable are you remaining in the lounge when the board says “final call” which on many occasions boarding hasn’t even started yet..

Definitely possible if you arrive/depart from the same concourse. Still somewhat possible if different concourses, but might not have much time in the lounge.

Mainly depends on what concourse you need to transfer to. Unless you're going A->C or C->A should be enough time to visit the lounge. Security is pretty quick in J/F.

You will go through security while transiting.

My answer and the two repeated answers were all talking about transit.
