I have to agree with most of the comments above on the Aspire lounge, Aspire plus was always a bastion of quietness and a lot more civilised however it too is starting to fill at times, my wife travelling EK Business walked in earlier this summer to find most of the seat reserved for couples and groups! When asked why she could find a seat was told by a rude member of staff that they were busy with direct bookings and that EK should have their own lounge! EK upon complaining said they couldn't control non EK lounges sorry! I used the plus lounge in early September and both toilets were U/S and you have to go down pier or into terminal to go to toilet!! Really.......
I have had need to use EK LHR T3 lounge of late and find it fabulous! Floor to ceiling view's, cooked meals, direct access to upper deck from both gates EK use, could not be more different to NCL!
