British Airways Galleries Club
Editorial Review
The British Airways Galleries Club at DXB is a strong (7/10) business class lounge offering a pleasant airport experience. Expansive windows provide stunning runway views, and the lounge's cleanliness is consistently praised. A comfortable nap area and well-stocked bar are additional assets. While the food selection, including self-service pastries and a simple hot buffet, is adequate, it doesn't reach exceptional quality. Crowding can be significant during peak travel times, particularly between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and evening departures. This lounge is ideally suited for Oneworld Emerald members or British Airways business class passengers seeking a reliable, comfortable respite with good amenities before a long-haul flight.
