Skywards Blue Members Can Now Use The Emirates Lounge But Will Have To Pay For It
The Emirates business class lounge is one of the best things about Dubai International Airport. It’s spacious, quiet, and everything is for free. There is a constant supply of food and drink, magazines and TV’s so you can watch a football match just like you are in a living room. There are also seats that pull out like a bed so you can get some sleep. Up until now, this has only been available to those flying business or first class, or those who have silver or gold skywards membership.
Those with Blue membership can now pay for the lounge
Anyone with a Skywards membership automatically gets a Blue Skywards membership. They are upgraded to Silver once they have flown 25,000 miles. More details here.

Emirates are introducing more and more fees…
… as the airline profits growth slowed in 2016, they have introduced more ways to make money recently. This new lounge fee comes as they introduced a fee of AED 50 for those looking to book a seat in economy class in advance.
