BA DXB lounge still boarded up with none of the usual round-the-clock construction typical of Dubai. That September re-opening must be end of, rather than start of.
OW lounge finder updated to direct J passengers and elites to Marhaba Lounge; F passengers to Ahlan First Class Lounge. Not being a masochist, I checked in just over 3hrs ahead and scooted to the Ahlan F lounge to redeem a Dragonpass entry.
‘Noted’ vlogger Harry Jaggard was checking into the lounge, during what appeared to be a connecting itinerary. Thankfully he did not roam the lounge filming.

Hey, Virgin Atlantic, if you’re reading: Get rid of the awful and needlessly receptive Jaggard from Vera. No one knows who he is, and, many fuchs are not given
At the very least, add a skip button.
