I have never seen a kipper in Dubai though or on Qatar or Emirates
I'll check the Emirates lounge for kippers at Dubai on Friday morning and get back to you. But John I think you're right, it is a kipper free zone but then so are most airport lounges. Maybe there's a reason for this. A John Cleese sketch comes to mind.. the body in the cupboard and the kipper in the suit pocket?? Who knows. Love kippers.
