I’ve been reading about the Emirates First Class Lounge in Dubai for quite some time. Last time I took this flight I did not have a long layover so I ended up in the smaller lounge. This time I made sure to get there well in advance of my departure time and am very happy that I did.
Those of you who know me already are aware of my nickname, The Fat Guy in the Lounge. I’m a buffet restaurant’s worst nightmare because I bite off more and continue to chew. (see Burger Contest 1, see Burger Contest 2, see Hot Dog Contest, see Fat Guy in the Lounge: Tahiti Edition) The Emirates Lounge was no exception. I went through the buffet, ordered off the menu, and ordered some more. Overall, the food was great but it could not compete with SQ VIP Lounge in Changi Airport.
I spent the rest of the time in the lounge in my fat man’s coma, ready to board for another first class Emirates experience to Shanghai.
