Butlers, first-class nap pods and sustainable children’s toys: inside Dubai Airport’s new lounge in Terminal 3 – The National

Travellers flying from Dubai with Emirates can check out the brand-new Plaza Premium Lounge which has opened in Terminal 3.. Spread across 1,260 metres, the pay-to-use lounge is the biggest at Dubai International Airport - the world's busiest hub.. You'll find the lounge on the upper level of Terminal 3's Concourse A. The desert and ocean inspired area can accommodate up to 300 travellers at any one time.. The Plaza Premium Lounge Dubai is the only space in Terminal 3 to offer individual family suites.. These four 10-square-metre rooms can be booked by groups of travellers seeking preflight privacy.. Keeping children entertained between flights is always a challenge but the dedicated children's playroom in the lounge should help with this.. Lounge chefs will also create special menus for children and infants.. For travellers looking to sleep between flights, single-person relaxation seats inspired by first class in-flight cabins can be converted into napping pods.. To help reduce the culinary carbon footprint of the lounge, there's a strong focus on using local ingredients.. Travellers with select travel passes and credit cards can access the lounge via their membership but anyone can pay to access the lounge..
