Access to Emirates Lounge

[cougar_df]

Hi, I booked a seat on Emirates to Singapore next month on a flight that is operated by Qantas (QF81). Does anyone know if I can use my Qantas club invitation pass to access the Emirates lounge? Alternatively, even though I'm booked on an Emirates ticket, can I use the pass to get into the Qantas lounge?

The only EK lounge that QP will gain you access to is Dubai, and then only if you are on a QF code. Even if you are on a QF flight number the other lounges are off limits when flying Y unless you are WP/SG ( A friend found this out the hard way in FRA last month). If booked on the QF code, you will have access to the QF lounge ex Oz, but nothing on the way back At least Changi is probably the best airport in the world to be lounge-less.

I'm not sure though what QP lounge access there is, if any, on QF metal with an EK code.

Thanks DrJ. Just so that I understand this right, at Sydney airport, the only option I have is to use my club invitation to access the QF lounge although I'm on an Emirates ticket.

My understanding is that as a QP (or one off pass holder) you have to be on a QF flight number or it's no dice:

Nothing wrong with trying at the SYD J lounge though!
