Qantas Platinum - Entry to Emirates Lounge in Dubai?

[surfnwine]

Hi all,

I am travelling Brisbane-Dubai, Dubai-Edinburgh. From what I can work out, the first flight Emirates/QF codeshare, second flight Emirates. Platinum FF with Qantas.

Travelling with family (wife + 3YO and 7YO). I understand that kids are considered guests (how frustrating) - but I just want to check that with the QF platinum status I will have access to 1st class lounge for me and 1 adult.

I think I will suck up the cost of paying for lounge for the kids (at least they get a discount).

If anyone knows a better way to do it - please let me know - I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to this stuff.

QF/EK platinums are allowed 1 adult and 2 children (17 and under) into EK operated lounges when flying on EK.

According to the Qantas website -

No issues last year as a WP and four flights through DXB with getting wife and two kids (15/12) into the first lounge. Platinums have a different guest policy which you can find on the Emirates website that allows 2 children, as mentioned above.

@madrooster and @BrockF - Thank you very much both for your responses. That does sound hopeful, and not what I had come to expect (although when booking the flights through QF, I thought it would be fine, but didn't realise there was any difference in lounge access between Emirates and OW partners).

In saying that - I cannot actually find any confirmation of that children aren't included as guests, having quickly perused the EK website. Just because I really don't want to stressing until I get to the lounge entry gate - do you know where I might be able to find this Platinum policy you speak of?

Thanks, @AIRwin - however ... that page is for Emirites Skywards membership status ... not Qantas FFs.
