With the Covid-19 pandemic now behind us, international travel is back in full swing. However, this also means the return of dreary moments and hours waiting in airports. However, passengers flying on Emirates Airlines are in for a treat as the company has reopened its Emirates Lounge in over 30 countries, the latest of which is the Emirates Lounge in Concourse C, Dubai International Airport — the 7th Dubai lounge to reopen after the pandemic.
Located in Concourse C, adjacent to Gates C09, the newly re-opened Emirates Lounge is a 1308-square meter and 265- seat dedicated space for rest, relaxation, and refreshment before travel. First and Business Class customers can access the lounge on a complimentary basis, as well as Silver, Gold and Platinum Skywards members. Premium Economy and Economy passengers can enjoy paid access at $150 exclusive of taxes, or just $125 for Emirates Skywards members. Currently open 24/7 to service the high demand of festive season, passengers can relax in the lounges for up to 4 hours before a flight.
Emirates Lounges are purpose built for comfort with multiple chaise lounges, pillows and blankets, complimentary premium wines, spirits, champagne, and dedicated dining areas with gourmet cuisine designed by award-winning chefs.
There are dedicated shower spas with bathrooms and baby changing facilities for passengers to refresh themselves, while TVs dotted around the lounge, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, PCs and printers, and an area to charge devices allow travelers to remain productive while waiting for their flight. A fully equipped business center is also available, including meeting rooms with projectors and individual touch screen workstations.
