They've got to cut loose the various money pits and concentrate on making their own money. One really wonders how many revenue passengers the partners were providing them anyway

I am considering paying for an upgrade from the business lounge to the first one for a 9am departure from AUH.

Is the first lounge much nicer than business? Also do they still offer the tasting menu amd comprehensive a la carte at this time in the morning or is it just standard breakfast?

If you do upgrade to the first class lounge, I recommend to get a VIP room for an extra $100 - assuming you are more than one person.

Can't comment on the Business Lounge but they will make you anything from the breakfast or standard menus if you ask. It's the First lounge so you won't hear 'No.'

Yes. Despite some cuts, the F lounge is MUCH nicer. It’s quieter, you will get a seat & the waiter-service food is actually pretty good, for the most part. I do love their eggs benedict & a spicy Bloody Mary for brekkie
