Wednesday, August 28, 2024 Dubai International Airport (DXB) is known for its world-class facilities and luxury offerings, and Plaza Premium’s ‘Their Patio’ arrivals lounge in Terminal 3 is no exception. During a recent layover after a red-eye flight from London on Emirates flight EK42, I had the opportunity to experience this arrivals lounge, which is accessible to Lounge-Key and Priority Pass members. It turned out to be the perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate.
Located landside in Terminal 3, just after the customs declaration point, the lounge is conveniently positioned for travelers who have collected their baggage. Clear signage directs passengers to the lounge, alongside Emirates’ chauffeur service counters, making it easy to find, even for those unfamiliar with the airport’s layout. With Plaza Premium’s reputation for luxury, I had high expectations, and the lounge did not disappoint.
It features two reception desks at either end, making it easily accessible from different directions. Upon check-in, a staff member verified my boarding pass and lounge access card, providing a warm welcome and setting the tone for a relaxing experience. Despite the airport being bustling at 05:30, I found myself the sole occupant of the lounge, giving me the freedom to explore its spacious and well-appointed interior.
The lounge is designed to cater to a variety of needs, offering different seating arrangements to accommodate solo travelers, couples, and families. From cozy .
