Welcome Noela!

Unfortunately your question is like asking the length of a piece of string! What sort of benefits do you want to accrue, where do you want to travel to, on which carrier and what travel class?

Thanks for replying notzac - we are flying Emirtes : Bris - Rome with o/n stop in Dubai, I would like to access ff lounge if possible and again in Rome on return journey
cheers

I suspect you may be out of luck - EK have lounges in many cities, but you'll need FF status with them to use them if you are flying Economy. I don't know if there is paid lounge access available in any of the cities you've mentioned but someone else is likely to know.

I think Citi have a Emirates branded card that may be worth looking at -
Emirates Citi Platinum - Citibank Australia

Edit: actually it looks like the Citi card has a complimentary lounge pass for 2 people as one of the benefits - so it may well be worth looking in to.
