The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

[Noah Count]

@Le_Champion I might bearer of bad news some times things don’t work as planed. A month or so back our plane arrived and as we passing the B gates I was wondering were we were headed. Eventually arrived at the C gates at the far end, offloaded onto a bus and it took around 45 minutes to be driven back to the B gates and after taking the lifts and escalators was back in the area I am somewhat used to.

I have been through DXB more times than I care to remember, sometimes things may not work out as planned.

There is another secret hack to get free buggy when you're walking around the main terminal but that won't be posted here

Heard from a friend that J lounge in concourse B has now been consolidated into the F lounge separated by a barrier

Couldn't find a first class thread so just thought I would post that my first (and probably only) EK F flight coming up from Sydney into Europe redeemed through Qantas points in March before the price increase went through.

Taking EK415 with roughly a 2.5hrs stopover in DXB. Looks like a 777 change in aircraft into Europe with the lighter loads.

Any tips from fellow travellers?

I'm heading back to AU in a couple of weeks and decided to give EK F a whirl BKK-SYD, as probably won't get the chance again anytime soon.

Have chosen my seat (1A), but if there's a better seat I should choose - let me know, it's pretty empty right now; had the entire cabin to choose from. Booked the Chauffeur as well, hopefully no problems finding my place, but I'm sure they'll contact me if any problems there.

Menu from this month looks rather good, and they have JWB on board, so I'll be very happy with that (of course I'll try their other whiskeys as well!!)

Any tips from those of...

Enjoy it, you'll have a blast!

Only tip I'd give is when disembarking at DXB, don't do what I did and walk past the dude carrying an iPad with my name on it. He was there to escort me to the F lounge so I could maximise my time in there, a really cool part of the experience when I spotted him on the return leg.
