We're off to Dubai in Sept - huge excitement. At last we'll be able to experience the LHR clubhouse that I've read so many good reports about. Obviously it's a night flight (22.05). Is there a 'best' time to get to the clubhouse? Does it get ridiculously busy at certain times or is it fairly free flowing? Wondering if arriving at 5pm would be too early for a 10pm flight ...? Views from those in the know will be appreciated
I'd aim for between 5 and 6. After that it can get busy with flights to JFK, Delhi, Hong Kong, Lagos & Dubai all leaving between approx 8 & 10.30.
Having said that it won't be nearly as busy as it is in the morning when there are 6 or 7 VS flights leaving before 11 not to mention a load of Deltas. So there should be plenty of space.
