SkyTeam Lounges in DXB and CMB?
Hi,
I've got an upcoming trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka via Dubai and Prague on OK. Any idea about lounges in CMB/DXB? I'm travelling Y-class, but am Plat Elite on both NW and CO; Elite Plus access?
Thanks,
SFO-RSW

The lounge by UL is in fact quite nice if you can access to it. There is even a spa in the lounge. unfortunately, I discovered that when I was leaving the lounge to board.

DXB Lounge: I went to the KLM Crown Lounge last Feb. It is somewhat small but was adequate on the night I was there (full 777 in WBC and Economy). It was relatively new and fresh looking. There was nice finger food, little sandwiches, samosas, hors d'oeuvres. Liquor selection was on par with AMS Crown Lounges.
I seem to also remember there being an Air France lounge, but I didn't go in there.

I was in DXB with a friend Nov last year. OK (who have since axed the DXB service) gave us invitations to a contract lounge which could be found at the end of a LONG row of gates, was fairly busy but not too crowded and had adequate but not spectacular catering. No mention of another Skyteam lounge was made

Im assuming if traveling on a SkyTeam Business class ticket on a 3am SU flight that I can do some lounge hopping to the AF, KL, and contract lounge (if that is what SU offers). Which lounge does DL use?

At DXB, both AF and KL have lounges (next to each other IIRC), but DL uses a third-party contract lounge a ways down from the AF/KL lounges. Ironic that the DL flight usually departs from a gate right next to the AF/KL lounges.

Interesting...as I mentioned I'll be on SU, but will pay a visit to both the AF and KL lounges to check them out. Hopefully, they wont use the "we're a small lounge and cannot honor ST Elite + members here" line.

I am in Dubai at the moment and will be flying DL to Atl.
Any update on Lounge choice? Will I be allowed into KLM or AF lounge? I am flying business class (Gold Medallion).
Is it worth going to the arport early? Anything interesting at DXB to look around for a couple of hours? Any free wifi at the lounge or elsewhere in the airport?
Thanks

I was at DXB yesterday. The third party Delta lounge is call Marhaba near gate 25. Delta leaves from Gate 13.
Marhba lounge is also designated lounge for Virgin, Alitalia, China Southern and about a dozen other airlines.
I was there for about 15 minutes to grab finger food. There is a buffet with local food which I did not take. An open bar with good selection of spirit and soft drinks. Not a big lounge and a little crowded when I was there about 9:45 pm.
