waiting time, no tedious processing. During the Connoisseur Circle local inspection, the staff were charming and helpful. While one of the ladies obtained the Air France boarding card and the reporter had a quick small talk with Tim Clark, President of Emirates, a short tour of the 1,200 square meter lounge followed.

Bavarian local color paired with timeless elegance and friendliness".
