First Time EK Flyer

[Viridis]

My wife and I are travelling Emirates for the first time.

We’re travelling Business Class having booked using QF points

I notice with commercial airfares that some Business Class airfares do not allow Lounge access. How do I know if my fare allows access. It was a Classic Reward and I can’t find any reference in my booking or on the EK website

We have a 3hr connection in Jakarta and 8hrs in Dubai so keen for Lounge access. Will obviously make alternative arrangements if we don’t (it’ll be a PP Lounge in CGK anyway I think) but just trying to determine if there is a need

Thanks in advance

I'm not a 100% on Third Party Lounges but I couldn't imagine EK embarrassing themselves by not providing a lounge for premium customers. You will have lounge access in DXB. I have done the same thing multiple times as a Classic Reward. Enjoy

I don't believe any of the lounge removed fares have yet become award fares, so think you will be ok.

You are correct that EK uses the PP lounge in CGK.

Thanks both. Much appreciated

We are currently in Europe having used QFF rewards to fly Jetstar to DPS then EK business to Zur through Dubai. Lounge access in DPS was limited to 3 hrs as third party lounge. No issues with access to EK business lounge in Dubai.

Thanks for the update. Good to know. Very similar itinerary to us - CGK/DXB/ZRH

If you like a glass of bubbles and with 8 hours in DXB this is worth a visit
