GLA-DXB-HKG and return. Positives: a very fast passage through the transit security check, even at a busy time ( 0530) , and a reasonable number of shops for a customer’s greatest need ( i.e. a coffee, and not the duty-free) .
What needs work, the A and B-concourses, which are EK-dedicated, are now too crowded, even after midnight, and the overall effect is somewhat claustrophobic. The intention appears to be to move all the non-EK traffic out of concourse C ( terminal 1) into concourse D, which has just opened. This can’t happen soon enough.
