UAE. Airport Dimensions has opened its fourth and largest sleep ’n fly lounge at Dubai International (DXB). It is located in Terminal 3, Concourse B. The lounge spans 575sq m, with sleep capacity for 46.
Sleep options include a range of cabins, sleep ’n fly’s signature FlexiSuite Pods and a Power Nap area. For visitors working on the go, Business Pods are available along with free lockers.
The opening also marks the launch of ‘Lounge Lite’ by sleep ’n fly. This standalone product offers a lounge experience at a lower cost than full-service lounge entry. Featuring private Alcove Pod seating with airport views, guests are offered a coffee or soft drink and can freshen up with showers, which feature Ceylonese Ayurveda wellness products from Spa Ceylon, which has partnered with sleep ’n fly for its UAE debut.
For the first time, beverages are available to guests at sleep ’n fly – with the lounge incorporating a self-serve coffee station stocking coffee brands as well as a drinks fountain for soft drinks and water. All guests at sleep ’n fly DXB B-Gates have access to unlimited refreshments during their stay.
Sleep ’n fly also is launching a new retail offering. Open to all travellers at the airport, the space stocks travel essentials and wellness amenities. The brands offered include Canadian backpacks and accessories brand Herschel and Spa Ceylon, which are both making their travel retail debuts at DXB, alongside the Brazilian flip-flop sandals brand Havaianas.
To deliver an environmentally responsible offering, sleep ’n fly has introduced fibre-based, 100% biodegradable key cards for access control as well as leather furnishings made of recycled scrap leather which would otherwise go to landfill. Also, the power supply for the lounge is managed by a bespoke smart power system to optimise energy and reduce overall usage. Other measures include toiletry kits made from bamboo, while soft drinks cups have been replaced by glassware and drinking straws have been eliminated throughout the lounge.
The lounge is available to all travellers by purchasing online or at the lounge. It is also available to members of Priority Pass, the world’s largest independent airport lounge and experiences programme, along with LoungeKey, which are part of Airport Dimensions’ parent company Collinson.
Errol McGlothan, Managing Director EMEA & 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.”
Dubai Airports EVP Commercial Eugene Barry 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.”
