It’s seems like the usual Qantas drink service in the Emirates lounge - none of the usual champagnes.

There was Qantas staff on the check in counter.

This is what I predicted would happen.

I wonder if it will be wet lease style, QF F&B in the EK lounge (in periods where the EK lounge would normally be closed), or regular EK catering?

Ie, will Veuve be on offer?

So it looks like it’s a hybrid sort of emirates food with QF drinks. I guess at 5:30pm this gets replaced with the usual Emirates stuff.

I asked on the way out as I’m on an early departure next week and they said 0400. This was the Qantas desk, not the EK desk.

I have to say, I found it drinkable. A few glasses consumed.

So there is separate EK and QF desks in the lounge? Interesting.
