Would you book a connection through DXB on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Dubai International with a longer stop.

The appeal is 24-hour services plus plenty of late-night food. The hesitation is crowded lounges.

Would you intentionally route through Dubai if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose DXB on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if crowded lounges is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
