off for a few days to DXB, decided to try BA club world as an experiment, with VS dropping the route and me sitting on a mountain of FC miles it seemed sensible to take the avios and tier points as it'll get me silver in exec club

it's a long time since I walked into a lounge and thought 'eww' (that was the IST BA lounge)

it smells, it's way too hot, the bubbly on demand is warm, the WiFi is mostly not working, the USB power at my seat is dead, the toilets earned it another 'eww'

Did I mention the warm bubbly?

Also, the bubbly is warm

I wasn't expecting a CH, maybe I've been spoiled by VS, but I'm surprised how poor it is, I think the T5 plaza premium really is a nicer place to be

First world problems I suppose, hope the flight is better!

I feel your pain, warm bubbly!!
Tried BA Club once on a return to DXB and quickly jumped ship to Emirates. No staring at a stranger in the back to front seating arrangement, great proper bar area {weep VS) and although not a Clubhouse, lounges with good food, open bar with chilled bubbly stuff!

Having spent time in 4 out of the 5 lounges at T5 last year I concur:

B Gates is without a doubt the best.
Plaza Premium - Very good shout if you have PP or DragonPass.
T5A South - Depends on time of day but generally way too busy.
T5A North - Feels like a staff canteen!

Ive not been into the Aspire so I can't comment!
