Well after being on the road, Africa and the PI for the past 2 months straight I was finally going home, was in Dubai waiting for my 2:20AM flight to Dulles, I was upgraded to business and was chilling out in the lounge thinking the gate opened at 2:20, so at 2:10 I went to the gate to be early and NOPE gate closed and checked bag removed from the plane.. yup was in the business lounge for almost 3 hrs, 30 feet from the gate, there is direct access to plane from the lounge. and I missed my freaking flight, now I have to sit in Dubai for 24 hrs, im at a good hotel.....moral of the story is PAY ATTENTION TO THE BOARDING TIME....1st time in my life this has happend to me.
