Re lounge access, I can't see QC members getting access when on an EK flight. While on a QF code yes, but EK code, i doubt it.
Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
If it is similar to the AA alliance then they should get access to both QF and EK lounges.
Lounge Access
17. If I choose to fly with Emirates from Australia to Dubai, can I still use the Qantas lounge at my departing airport in Australia?
Yes. If your class of travel or Frequent Flyer status gives you lounge access and both lounges are available, you will be welcome in either the Qantas or Emirates Lounge.
18. As a Qantas Club member will I have access to Emirates lounges worldwide?
If you are travelling on Qantas, your lounge access will remain unchanged. If you are flying with Emirates you will have access to the Emirates lounge in Dubai.
19. As a Qantas Frequent Flyer will I still be able to use the Australian domestic lounges if I am connecting from an Emirates international flight?
Yes. Your Domestic Lounge access eligibility will remain unchanged for Qantas even if your journey has mixed Qantas and Emirates flights.
20. As an Emirates Skyward member travelling on the Qantas domestic network, will I have access to Qantas domestic lounges?
Only Skyward Gold members will be eligible to use the Domestic Qantas Club lounges in Australia.
Personally what I want to see are:
- Award flights on EK metal to all EK destinations (specifically I only want DXB-LCA-DXB)
TBH, I think it is a bit unfair that QF aren't giving Skyward Gold members access to the DOM J Lounge. If all the WPs around want access to EK F Lounges then shouldn't QF give a little as well?
IO ... "Invitation Only" ... they get Flounge access at DXB...
I wonder if their super elite hidden tier will get CL access...

Today’s decision includes a condition that Qantas and Emirates not yet coordinate on services between Australia and New Zealand, reflecting the fact that New Zealand law does not provide for interim authorisation.

Well that's a little annoying...
Lot still to be communicated:
On 20) What about Skywards Gold members travelling on Qantas international network (eg JFK, LAX, JNB, SCL, CGK, SIN etc...)
IO ... "Invitation Only" ... they get Flounge access at DXB
I think that they'd get access to the QF F Lounges and probably the DOM J Lounge but I highly doubt QF would let them into the CL. I say this because neither airline wants it's super elite clientele to interact with each other. Plus QF will still be accepting BA Premier customers so I think that is enough 'sharing' for QF
