QF guest pass usable at Mel EK lounge?

[fourohfive]

Hi all and happy weekend! Departing MEL on EK409 on a QF8409 ticket in about a week, departs at 5am. Have sadly dropped to QF silver recently, but I do have one guest pass in my back pocket. Wondering if anyone knows if the QF lounge is open for that flight or if only the EK lounge is open, given that it's EK metal. If the latter - do they accept a QF lounge pass for the EK lounge given that I'm on a QF ticket?

The QF lounge isn’t open for that flight and you can’t use a QF pass to access the EK lounge unfortunately.

You can pay to access EK lounges, although it's quite pricy ($150 USD or something).

Thanks to both of you for your responses. I'll save the guest pass for use in SIN en route back... I'm on QF metal and QF flight number for that one.
