Quoting Mr Mac re EK lounge:
"Current one in my view is one of the better ones on EK route network"
We don't normally travel J class on long haul holidays but we did in January, and I must say I was very impressed with the Emirates Lounge at MAN. Spacious, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, great views towards R23R, good choice of food and drinks and very pleasant staff. Preferred it to Hong Kong although that was decent enough. Dubai lounge for the A gates was just huge and less enjoyable.
