Airport Dimensions opens flagship sleep ’n fly concept at DXB

Airport Dimensions has opened its fourth and largest ‘sleep ’n fly’ lounge in Concourse B of Terminal 3 at Dubai International (DXB).

The expansive 575 square metre footprint, with a split-level design, offers a total sleep capacity of 46.

Sleep options include a range of cabins and sleep ’n fly’s signature FlexiSuite Pods and a dedicated Power Nap area. Additionally, for visitors working on the go, ‘Business Pods’ are available along with free lockers.

The opening of the new lounge also marks the launch of ‘Lounge Lite’ by sleep ’n fly.

This standalone product offers a classic lounge experience at a lower cost than full-service lounge entry. Featuring private alcove pod seating with airport views, Lounge Lite provides a relaxing space in which to unwind and enjoy a coffee or a soft drink. Guests can freshen up with a shower, which feature a selection of Ceylonese Ayurveda wellness products from Spa Ceylon, who have partnered with sleep ’n fly as part of its UAE debut.

Beverages are also available to guests at sleep ’n fly – with the lounge incorporating a self-serve coffee station stocking coffee brand favourites, as well as a drinks fountain which will offer a range of soft drinks and water.

All guests at sleep ’n fly DXB B-Gates have access to unlimited refreshments during their stay.

The  lounge will also feature a new retail offering. Open to all travellers at the airport, the space stocks an extensive range of travel essentials and wellness amenities, featuring brands that have been carefully curated to inspire the modern traveller.

It has invested in using fibre-based, 100 per cent biodegradable key cards which are used for access control as well as leather furnishings which are made of recycled scrap leather which would otherwise go to landfill.

Also, the power supply for the lounge is carefully managed by a bespoke smart power system to optimise energy and reduce overall usage. Other measures include toiletry kits made from bamboo, soft drinks cups have been replaced by glassware and drinking straws have been eliminated throughout the lounge.

Lounge access is available to all DXB travellers by purchasing online or at the lounge. It is also available to members of Priority Pass, along with LoungeKey, which are part of Airport Dimensions’ parent company Collinson.

Errol McGlothan, MD EMEA and APAC of Airport Dimensions, said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our business at Dubai International Airport. Building on our five-year relationship with the team at this prestigious travel hub, this is probably our most ambitious UAE project to date. Multi-tiered offerings will appeal to a wider range of travellers looking for an oasis of serenity designed especially for them.”

Eugene Barry, EVP Commercial at Dubai Airports, said: “It is great to further develop our partnership with Airport Dimensions with this latest sleep ’n fly concept. The addition of a combined sleep, lounge and work space allows our guests to use their time effectively at the airport and expands the range of services available for international travellers using DXB.”
