Hi all
markis10 provided the link below in Berlin's thread to address their questions. Given the level of detail in the link below I thought this deserved its own thread.

There are some interesting tid-bits in there:
A few samples I thought were interesting are:
[-]Able to check in for EK flights at QF counters
For travel on/after 31 March 2013, Chairmans Lounge, Platinum One and Platinum Qantas Frequent Flyers Members will be able to check in for Emirates (EK) operated flights at First or Business check-in counters (where available). Gold Qantas Frequent Flyers will be able to check in at the Business check-in counters (where available).
Members must be booked and ticketed on the Qantas (QF) or Emirates (EK) flight number.[/-]
Booking EK flights using points from when?
Qantas Classic Award bookings may be booked on Emirates (EK) operated flights from 31 March 2013.
Boarding from the lounge
The lounges at Concourse A, from which Qantas flights will arrive and depart, enable customers travelling in First and Business to board directly from the lounge.
Transiting liquids
Due to Australian Government regulations, if a customer is travelling on a service to Australia and has purchased LAGs in excess of 100ml duty free in Dubai Airport, their purchases will be packaged, taken at the departure gate and stowed in the aircraft hold for the duration of the flight. If they have purchased duty free LAGs at the start of their journey and are transiting through Dubai, their purchases will also be taken from them at the departure gate and stowed in the airport hold. Customers will need to collect their purchases upon arrival in Australia at the Oversize Baggage counter in the Arrivals Hall
When can you book Dubai COnnect?
Eligible customers will be able to book the Dubai Connect service from mid-March 2013. If travel is booked before 18 March 2013, details will be provided as to how to add the Dubai Connect service to their booking once the functionality is available. Further information on the booking process will be available soon.
