Emirates First Class Lounges at Dubai
My lovely Italian Emirates personal assistant greeting me as I deplaned at the A gates at DXB.
And escorting me to transit security and to the First Class Lounge.
Time to relax in one of the cool Pods.
After a refreshing shower, time for dinner.
And some wine.
Yes, Clos Apalta in the lounge.
Wow, wonderful morel mushrooms soup.
Hyderabadi chicken biryani
Whoa, decadent sweets.
After a short train ride, I'm in the B concourse.
And checking out the wines, still oddly hidden away behind the counter.
Wow, what a find. The 2015 Bouchard Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet!!
Time for a snack.
And a few glasses on this sensational Chevalier-Montrachet.
And Emirates fabulous Butter Chicken.

Emirates First Class Lounge Dubai A Concourse
Lucky today to both arrive and depart from the A gates, home of my favorites Emirates First Class Lounge.
Time for breakfast lunch a meal in the Fine Dining Room.
Always fun to check out the wine fridges...
Enjoying a wonderful Corton-Charlemagne
When I get this alert from Garuda. Say what?? My CGK-MEL is delayed 18 HOURS!!!!
OK, time to search for an alternative way to get to MEL by Sunday night.
Step 1 in the search is more wine. LOL
Now we're talking. Perfectly medium rare fillet with béarnaise.
Off to my gate. This would have been nice but would have cost $10,000+ more on a multi-city. No thanks.
My gate for Jakarta,
And direct boarding, sort of.

Emirates First Class Lounge A in Dubai
My personal Emirates First Class rep met me as I deplaned and escorted me to the First Class Lounge.
Always fun checking out the wine coolers.
My first choice for "breakfast".
And then the fabulous 2006 Angelus Premier Grand Cru Classé
Wowza!
Wagyu beef fillet for my main.
Perfectly prepared and amazing with béarnaise and fries.
Relaxing in one of the oh so comfy Pods, before heading to my gate.
