The Emirates Lounge

One of the best Business Class Lounges. Beats Qantas Business Class Lounge in Sydney hands down. This may not be entirely representative as I was here at 7:00am for the 8:45 am flight to Auckland. The lounge was not crowded. Breakfast was well presented and good, serving sausages, chicken loaf, omelette, backed beans, mushroom and more. The fruit counter had a selection of fruit and cold meats all pre-​arranged on plates. There were quite a few staff standing around or clearing things up and holding trays at the coffee machine. Stupid me asked for a cup of coffee and was promptly pointed to the machine! I thought there were there to serve me! But no big deal…,

i spent a few hours here before i travelled from Sydney to London and it was a very good start to the trip. Lovely décor, comfortable lounge chairs, good food and beverage selection. Not overcrowded like some businesses lounges and located close to the gates that Emirates fly from.

The food was exceptional, the selection of beers and wines was as expected.
The service was fantastic! Always nice to have someone come up and let you know that your flight gate was about to open.
I took the Monday 9:15pm flight to DXB, so the lounge wasn’t that busy but I have heard that the reverse leg in the morning to Christchurch near packs the Lounge out.
The views were nice, but the amenities were nice and clean
