For first class lounges (emirates in dubai), how early can you go in? I think i will skip hotel and just stay in the lounge, do a day tour, come back to lounge and sleep overnight. Flight is the day after so id be in the lounge for 28 hours. Anyone know if i can stay in the lounge for this long ?

Due to Covid a lot of lounges have shortened their hours so they are no longer open all night. Also many lounges do not allow arrivals into the lounge, only departures, and many lounges will only allow you in 3 hours prior to your flight. I know Emirates first class is ultra luxury and I am speaking about experiences I’ve had recently with business class lounges, but still be careful because airlines have gotten more strict. Also you usually can’t check a bag more than 3-ish hours before your flight time for security reasons and TSA won’t let you through without a same-day boarding pass. Big issue if you have to switch terminals and many terminals aren’t connected post-security (even if they used to be). Potentially you could use the bag storage service but that takes time to do. It’s probably worth a phone call to customer service. I have just been disappointed with my experiences lately.

I have to agree with this. Even in other airports, they are strict when it comes to people staying in the lounge.

Sounds like you have a long layover! I have been through Dubai Airport 4x since May and all their lounges are open. Day tours are fantastic, but it's like there is so much to do there a day might not be long enough. Museum of the future, Burj Khalifa, Desert Safaris, the Frame, shopping at Dubai Mall are all a must see! Have fun 😀

In my recent experience, you definitely won't be able to stay there that long. Like AA said, things are really strict these days and it's probably best to give customer service a call so you can find out the specifics of your trip. That being said, Dubai is an awesome city and you won't be disappointed if you head out for the day!
