MEET(ing) me half-way

Wouldn’t you just love it if you could just hop onto a plane and finish off a meeting without having to beat the traffic, reach the hotel, check in and then head for the meeting venue. In a rapidly changing fast-paced world, the concept of meetings is changing and more and more corporates would like to save as much time as possible and if an airport lounge gives you the facility to do all this and more, then why wouldn’t corporates adopt it? At Dubai International Airport, Emirates has six lounges located in its flagship

Terminal 3 – three for First Class and three for Business Class customers and the First Class lounges are a treat in themselves. Imagine never having to leave the lounge, not even to catch the plane! Yes, even the boarding gates are located inside the lounge in some concourses and there are duty-free shops, lest you feel like indulging in a shopping spree.
