Prologue:

I left you after my flight from Paris. It's time to have a great time in the lounge before my red eye flight to Dubai.

After a dairly long walk I arrived at destination for the next 5 hours.

I arrived to find an empty desk which is so rare. I checked-in myself with the automatic doors where you scan your boarding pass.

Let's play a bit. It's my spot to have fun in the lounge. A young Chinese came to play with me and busted my ass. It's was great and we laughed. We then had a drink and we said goodbye.

The 2-3-2 layout in Business Class. While it was acceptable a decade ago

I was given the middle seat but I quickly changed since it was not taken.

Summary:

Lounge : As I previously said, it's for me the best business class lounge worldwide.
I however 2 complains :
- The shower is shabby and does not make you feel "safe".
- It's really crowded, depending on your arrival time, you might have no seat.

Flight :
- Catering : Enough and tasty for such a short long haul flight.
- Crew : Cold, I for example requested to have another amenity kit. The FA just said no. No smile throughout the meal, not the best crew.
Seat : I would not pay for a 2-3-2 layout. When I sat in the middle, I felt oppressed.

Time to wrap up the report : TK is really impressive when it comes to catering. the seat while being fully flat, needs to be up to date.

Thanks for reading.
