The airport seems to be shut over the middle of the day (i.e. 10-4) so if you are transferring and have a flight anywhere near 4 you need to spend the day in this bloody airport. I did that as I had a flight out at 7 and thought I didn't want to risk what I read online to be a potential 3 hour transition from domestic to international. It took all of 20 minutes, so I really should have gone for the 4pm fly in. The airport gives you 45 minutes of complimentary internet! It also doesn't have nearly enough chairs for all the passengers. I was booked for a first class Emirates flight and they wouldn't let me through to the lounge until a few hours before my flight, so spent the majority of the day sitting on the floor with no internet (waaaaaaaaaaaa). #firstworldproblems... The bloody signs everywhere telling you that it is the best airport in the world are the real killer, yeah it has nice shiny floor, cool architecture and the toilets aren't too gross, but it doesn't have chairs or internet!! The emirates first class lounge, or lounge they used wasn't that impressive either... The chairs were stained and service a bit average, no table service or anyone even ask me if I wanted a drink...
