Err..yes, my point was that the uncritical, small town breathlessness from the West Australian was reminiscent of Hicksville.
I travel frequently, and often via Dubai. Dubai airport, with the crazy inbound security for transiting pax, plus the hoards mixing it in narrow, unorganized thoroughfares is indeed chaos. The EK lounges are big, always full, generally OK and the few showers they have are often partly out of action. And it's little better in the first class lounge, where I sometimes end up.
Sorry, SQ, MH and CX do it much better at their respective home bases.
Perth doesn't rate any positive points on my travel scale, I'm afraid.
