Qantas silver in Dubai emirates lounge

[koots]

Hi All,

I’ve heard recently that Emirates silver members can use the Dubai lounge. When flying codeshare with Qantas, can we access the Dubai lounge as silver Qantas FF?

Nope. Qantas Club if on a QF flight code, otherwise Gold and above.

It’s a QF code, operated by Emirates. Does that make any difference?

No difference, lounge access is not a benefit of silver https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas...ounge-access-eligibility.html#partner-lounges

Thanks. I knew it wasn’t generally, but colleagues with Emirates silver get access in Dubai so hoped with codeshare that would be extended to the Qantas passengers too.

I'm not sure they are equivalent despite sharing the name silver

It looks like Skywards Silver is a lot harder to attain than QF Silver
