The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

[brokenxsmile]

Can anyone advise if I can bring a guest into the lounges (traveling on same flight) if traveling on a QFF rewards booking? I was going to make a post in the lounge meetups thread, but wanted to check I can actually bring a guest... TIA

According to this yes. If you are on an EK F flight you can bring a guest.

3 One accompanying guest permitted and must be traveling on QF or EK marketed and operated flight on the same day.

I do not believe it matters how you paid for the ticket. On QF they do not discriminate, cannot comment on EK myself

2A or K.

The little cubby holds a full-sized international rolla-board!

The shower is great… even walking to the gate in BKK can be humid… so nice to refresh after takeoff or before going to sleep.

Thankyou, well this is exciting news. Good point about the shower, I nearly always have one in the lounge on domestic. On the rare occasion I am in the F lounge I take my glass of fizz in there with me.

I hope we get a stand off gate. I quite enjoy the walk or the bus to experience a little bit of fresh air between the plane and terminal.

In my experience in July 2023, the F lounge in DXB is good but champagne options were limited to Moet Brut and Moet Rose, the J lounge (depending on the concourse) has a Moet bar which serves Moet Grand Vintage. This may have changed since then

On the other hand the food options in the F lounge are really good

Same flight #.

Note that if, for example, you are QF Gold on QF# but EK plane, and your friend is on QF ticket but EK flight number, you are technically not on the same flight # for lounge access/billing purposes.

If you're on cash biz/first ticket, or hold EK status, this carries more weight for discretionary entry by staff.
All bets are off if it's a third party lounge and not EK operated.

HA, Not sure the shower really sells it for me on those shorter flights when I will have plenty of lounge time at BKK and DXB.

Anyway, so I rang up Q this morning and was through to Capetown, initially with the intent to just enquire.


So I booked this there and then. I am not convinced that I will get the extra 50000 points worth in F over J.

Good on you @Cessna 180 you won't regret it, and if you have the time, book a slot at the Spa

Thank you!

It’s an Emirates First ticket booked with QFF points, and heading to the Melbourne lounge. Will see what happens.
